Stretching Exercise for Beginners | Sitting Down Flexible Workout

There is a moment when you realize stretching is also a workout lol.

Stretching is the one workout we neglect the most. It may be boring for some but if you incorporate stretching into your routine. Not only will your flexibility improve but your performance as well. You will feel better afterward.

Seated Straddle
* Sit down on the floor with both legs straightened out in a straddle (or “V”) position.
* Inhale and on an exhale, slowly fold forward as far as you can with a flat back.
* Keep your toes and knees pointing straight up. Keep your spine long and avoid hunching over.
* Reach your hands out in front of you. As you’re able to, work on reaching hands out further and lowering your chest to the ground.

Cat/Cow
* Start on your hands and knees with shoulders directly over wrists and hips over knees.
* Take a slow inhale and on the exhale, round your spine and drop your head toward the floor for Cat pose.
* Inhale and lift your head, chest, and tailbone toward the ceiling as you arch your back for Cow Pose.
