Feel Amazing All Day: Best Stretches for Morning & Night (FULL VIDEO)
As we go through the processes of aging, there are certain physical laws that every human body will have to obey. One of those laws is that your flexibility naturally declines with age. Sedentary lifestyles (and even active ones) are one of many different factors that can accelerate this tightening process.
Incorporating a stretching routine in the morning and night is great way to not only improve your flexibility, but reduce physical stress, increase blood circulation and promote better sleep quality. Inviting a regular stretching routine to your lifestyle can slow the tightening process down and may even regain your flexibility if you’re consistently proactive about it.
Today, I created a FULL STRETCHING ROUTINE that anyone can practice first thing in the morning and last thing at night.
Creating a daily routine that promotes flexibility training has a plethora of benefits and here are some of the main ones:
1. Increases Flexibility
Stretching helps maintain or improve flexibility by gently lengthening muscles and increasing the range of motion. Over time, this can make everyday activities feel easier and reduce stiffness.
2. Boosts Circulation
Stretching helps get your blood flowing, which is especially important after a night of rest. It can increase circulation to your muscles and joints, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to your tissues, which helps you feel more awake and energized.
3. Reduces Muscle Stiffness
After sleeping, your muscles can feel tight or stiff. Morning stretching helps alleviate this by loosening muscles, improving mobility, and reducing the risk of discomfort or injury.
4. Improves Posture
Stretching the chest, back, and shoulders can help counteract the effects of poor posture from sleeping or sitting all day. Regular stretching can improve your posture by keeping muscles balanced and aligned.
5. Reduces Stress and Tension
Stretching can activate your parasympathetic nervous system, helping to calm you down and reduce stress. It’s a great way to start the day feeling relaxed and centered, especially if you’ve got a busy schedule ahead.
6. Promotes Better Focus
The act of stretching can help clear your mind, helping you focus more effectively on your day’s tasks. It stimulates your nervous system and enhances mental clarity.
7. Prevents Injury
By increasing blood flow and range of motion, stretching prepares your body for the physical demands of the day, whether you’re exercising, walking, or just moving around. This can help reduce the risk of strains or sprains.
8. Boosts Energy Levels
Stretching releases tension in your muscles and can help you feel more awake and alert. It’s like a natural energy booster without needing caffeine.
9. Improves Balance and Coordination
Many stretching exercises target the muscles that affect your balance, especially in your core and lower body. Morning stretching can help improve your overall coordination and stability throughout the day.
10. Mental Clarity and Mood Boost
Stretching can trigger the release of endorphins, the "feel-good" hormones, which help elevate your mood. It’s a simple way to start the day with a positive mindset.
Conclusion: Adding a morning and evening stretching routine can dramatically improve the overall well-being of your life. It’s a great way to start and end your day being mindful of your body. The stronger connection you create with your body, the healthier you can become!
