1. As you’re laying in bed contemplating your plans for the day, take several moments to stretch out long, from your fingers to your toes to the top of your head.
2. Spend a few more minutes in the shower, which is an ideal place to stretch because the hot water and steam relaxes your muscles. Do a few neck rolls, sky stretches and toe-touching bends.
3. Do you have a cat or dog? They are a tangible reminder to get off your rear and give it a good downward dog, or perhaps just a cat tilt.
4. If you work at a desk most of the day, it is crucial that you change up your body’s position so that you don’t develop the dreaded shoulder slump with lower back pain. Stand up and stretch every 30 minutes at a time.
5. Stuck waiting in line at the grocery store or somewhere else? Lift up onto your toes and stretch towards the sky, roll your shoulders in circles or wiggle your feet. If you’re worried about people giving you funny looks, get over it.
6. Anytime you sit down to watch a movie or some TV, balance out the brainless entertainment with a few full body stretches. Get on the floor and reach for your toes, stretch out your back and do some easy yoga moves to strengthen your core. I use my foam roller to break up the soreness.
