Top 5 Essential Stretches for Every Workout
Five stretches that loosen the hips, hamstrings and shoulders, the areas that tighten up most after training.
Hip Flexor Lunge Stretch
Kneel on one knee, tuck your pelvis and lean gently forward. Hold for 30 seconds on each side.
Seated Hamstring Stretch
Sit tall with one leg straight and reach toward your foot from the hips, keeping your back long.
Doorway Chest Stretch, Thread the Needle and Child’s Pose
Finish with a chest stretch in a doorway, a thread-the-needle twist for the upper back, and a minute in child’s pose to slow your breathing down.
