[Music] [Applause] thank you hey everyone welcome back today I'm going to share with you seven stretches that I think you should do absolutely every single day as we all know stretching is so important for the longevity of our bodies and if we just take five minutes out of every day to stretch we're going to feel so much better so this is a really quick stretch routine that you can throw into your morning the middle of your work day or in the evening before you go to bed you don't need any equipment just something soft beneath you and without further Ado let's get to it all right so first stretch is a lunge you're going to step your right foot forward leaning down deep into this lunge and pressing your hips forward so this is going to stretch out our hip flexors and I think this is so important because a lot of us are sitting every day and our hip flexors are contracted all the time so stretching this out is going to feel amazing if you want to increase the stretch here you can lift up that arm and reach up and over oh foreign slowly coming back to Center hands on either side we're going to swap the leg out bringing our left leg forward sitting deep into that lunge you can stay here with your hands on your knee or feel free to bring the arm up and stretching the hip flexor even more [Music] good slowly coming back to Center next up we're going to sit down on our buns you're going to stretch your feet out in front of you so legs are straight you're going to bring your right leg up and over then you're going to bring the knee in close to the chest and twist so you want to make sure that you're sitting right on top of this hip your hip is driving down into the floor and we're twisting so you'll feel that stretch in the glute try to make sure that your back is nice and flat here and you're pressing your shoulder blades down [Music] good and slowly release we're going to switch legs bring the left leg up and over again making sure we're sitting right on top of those hips bringing the knee into the chest and twist [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] release next up we're going to stay down here on the ground we're going to come into a butterfly position so you're going to bring the soles of your feet together and let those knees fall open again lift that booty and make sure that you're sitting right on top of those hips so try and send the booty back a little bit and you want to keep your back flat so keep it as straight as possible this stretch is going to look different for everybody some of us might be up here some of us might be completely flat it's all going to depend on our hip flexibility I love this stretch this is a stretch that we were taught from a very young age when I took dance this is probably the first stretch that we ever do and it's to really help open up those hips and again a lot of us are sitting with our hips contracted all day not a lot of us are spending time opening up our hips every day so I love doing this stretch it's a really great hip relief so try not to pull up on these toes you want to keep the feet flat on the floor if it helps you can grab onto the ankles and keep your back straight like that try to let those knees fall far down to the floor as you can foreign slowly release bring those knees back together you can do this next stretch standing you can do this on your knees I'm going to do it on my knees we're going to focus on opening up the chest another thing that we all do every day is sit and we sit with our backs hunched so our hips are contracted our upper body is hunched and we don't spend time doing the opposite so we're going to spend a few seconds here opening up that chest you're going to clasp your hands behind your head we're going to first contract forward bringing the elbows in front of us then we're going to do the opposite open those elbows up open the chest and lift your gaze toward the ceiling try and let those elbows fall out as far as possible and we're going to do that a couple times foreign [Music] and slowly releasing coming back down to Center next up we're going to stretch out our shoulders and our neck so we're going to do the regular old shoulder stretch but as you're doing this I want you to think about pressing the shoulder blades down the back so keeping the shoulders pressed down as far as possible and then from here if it feels comfortable for you you can stretch out the neck I absolutely love this stretch especially if I'm sitting at my computer all day pressing the shoulders down and stretching out that neck just feels so good so don't push yourself too far just let that head kind of hang to the side [Music] [Music] good slowly coming back up to Center release those arms give them a couple swings good I'm bringing the left arm across same thing press those shoulders down [Music] and fall to the side [Music] foreign good release give those arms a couple swings we have two more stretches next up we're going to stretch out our hamstrings a lot of our lower back pain is usually caused by really tight hamstrings and I know that this is probably everybody's least favorite muscle to stretch because it hurts so a lot of us avoid doing it even myself so we're gonna do it today together we're going to come down into a crouched position and when you send your booty up I want you to think about keeping your upper body as close to your quads as possible try and keep a flat back as we're doing this so you're going to come down send the legs up or send the booty up hold for a couple seconds and then come back down you can do this as many times as you like you can hold for as long as you like if you feel the stretch and your legs are still bent feel free to just hold here again try and keep your upper body close to your legs and let the upper body feel heavy I'm gonna do this a couple more times good our last stretch this is probably my favorite stretch and I love ending my workouts or my stretch session off with this we're going to do a cobra pose into a child's pose position and I'm going to try and do this without moving my puppy so you're going to come down I might have to you're gonna have you're gonna have to take it up just a little bit too much space you're gonna come down into a cobra position so you're gonna let those hips fall down into the floor this is really stretching out the hip flexors and we're gonna press those shoulder blades down here as well then from here you're going to roll through the spine so we're really lubricating that spine coming back down into a child's pose from here you can let the knees fall open and reach those fingertips towards the top of your mat and then same thing rolling through that spine coming back down into Cobra you can do this as many times this feels comfortable you can go as fast or as slow as you want foreign position you can hold here and reach from side to side and stretch out those sides or you can just hold take some deep breaths foreign [Music] ly walk yourself back up and that is it guys that is a quick little stretch routine those are seven stretches that you should be doing absolutely every single day I
