Morning stretches are important for starting the day right and maintaining flexibility. This video guides you through a series of stretches you can do every morning to loosen your muscles and improve your range of motion. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, these exercises are suitable for everyone.
Stretching in the morning promotes blood circulation and oxygenation of your body, allowing for a gentle awakening. It's beneficial to stretch muscles relaxed after a night's sleep and relieve tension related to your sleeping position. This also provides an excellent routine for maintaining good posture throughout the day.
Remember to breathe deeply and move slowly with each stretch. If you experience pain, stop immediately and consult a healthcare professional.
