one of the main reasons why our muscles feel tight and our joints feel stiff is because we're not moving them this is especially true in the morning after you've been lying still and sleeping through the night these structures are designed to move and they're meant to move and that's how they feel better and that's exactly what I want to help you out with today this is a total body stretching routine you should do every morning to help eliminate aches and pains help you to move better and even feel younger as I mentioned this is going to be a total body stretching routine we're going to start in the spine move down to the lower body and then finish with the upper body by the end of it you should feel and move a lot better so let's get started with one of my favorite stretches for the lower back and the hips this is going to be a lumbar rotation stretch hit start on my timer lay on your back with both knees bent keep your knees together feet together and then just drop them over to one side keep your shoulders flat to the ground right now both of my knees are going to my left I feel a good comfortable stretch right here through my right side hold for about 10 to 15 seconds and then I'm going to rotate both knees back the other direction so now they're both dropping over to the right until I get a good comfortable stretch right here through my left side hold 10 to 15 and then we're going to alternate this for 60 seconds go just as far as you feel comfortable stretching should be very relaxing should be very comfortable I don't want any pain with this if you're experiencing pain you might have pushed it a little too far so just try to keep it nice and relaxing [Music] the next stretch that we're going to get into is for your upper back this is going to be a thoracic rotation stretch I'm going to sit with my legs extended cross my left foot over my right knee my right elbow goes to the outside of my left knee and then I apply just a little pressure so I'm pushing slightly with my right elbow to rotate through my back and so this is a good one I usually get one or two little pops out of my upper back with this when I do it we're going to hold this for about 30 seconds and then in three two one we're going to alternate over to the other side so now my right leg crosses over my left left elbow goes to the outside as I push in this direction right here again just till we get a good comfortable rotation stretch through the upper back all right the next stretch that we're going to do is going to be for the neck this is an upper trapezius stretch and so what you're going to do is just sit with good posture my left ear goes over to my left shoulder my left hand goes up to the opposite side of my head and then I just apply a little bit of pressure until I get a good stretch right here through the right side of my neck then this one feels good you can even kind of rotate your head around stretch where it feels tight stretch where it feels comfortable hold for 30 seconds stretching the right side come up out of it and now we're going to go over here we're going to stretch 30 seconds to the right side stretching the left side of the neck out [Music] is and then up next this is going to be one of my favorite total spine Mobility stretches this is a cat Cow or a cat camel we're down on all fours I'm going to Arch my back up towards the ceiling pull my shoulder blades apart and really kind of tuck my chin down into my chest hold for five or ten good stretch through my whole back now we're going to come back down this way so my pelvis rocks forward big arch in my back and my eyes come up to look at the wall in front of me I'm going to hold that for five to ten and then repeat so this is kind of a total spine flexion move as we come into the angry cat pose this is a total spine extension move as we come into the cow or the camel we're gonna do this one for 60 seconds [Music] next we're going to stay right in this kneeling position and get into a hip flexor stretch I'm going to bring my left foot forward put my right knee down and then just shift my weight onto my left foot until I get a good stretch right here through the right front of my hip these hip flexors they get tight especially in the night like if you sleep on your side with your knees bent that can cause tightness in your hip flexors they can pull on your lower back this is a great stretch to address that I'm going to hold this for 30 seconds on the right and then I'm going to get into a left hamstring stretch so now I'm going to drop down I'm going to keep my left heel down straighten my left knee out and then sit down kind of onto my right foot until I get good stretch right here through this left side hamstring if it helps you can even reach forward towards your toes to enhance that stretch back there but we're going to hold this one for 30 seconds as well and then we're going to get into a left hip adductor stretch or the left groin simply pivot 90 degrees so now we're in this position we're going to stretch the left inside part of the hip so with my left leg out straight I sit down again onto my right heel until I get a good stretch right here through that left abductor through that left groin muscle if this is hard on your knee throw a pillow underneath your knees as we're doing these kneeling exercises that usually helps to take some of the pressure off hold this for 30 seconds and then we're going to pop over onto the left knee so make that transition extend the right foot out and now we're into the right hip adductor stretch we're basically just going to reverse the whole sequence now so hold this one in a comfortable position for about 18 more seconds [Music] and so now we're going to pop into a left hip flexor stretch rotate again 90 degrees now we're in this tall kneel position I'm going to keep my left knee down put my weight onto my right foot until I get a good stretch right here through that left side front of the hip through that left hip flexor and hold it for 30. good then after this we'll fall into the right hamstring stretch keep your right heel down extend your right knee and sit that weight back down onto that left foot until we get a good stretch through that right hamstring that one's a little tight on me today and so we'll spend 30 seconds right here working that out [Music] next we'll get into two great stretches for your upper body I'm going to get in this tall kneel position clasp your hands behind your back pull your shoulder blades down and back as you extend your chest up towards the ceiling until we just get a good stretch right through the front of the chest through the front of the shoulders hold it for about 10 seconds and then repeat I'm showing you this in in kneeling you can certainly do this in standing I just don't have my camera set up at the right angle and then let's finish with one of my favorites again you can do this one in standing as well we're going to reach both hands up and above the head extend through the back hold for five come back to this position now I'm going to rotate my hands back towards the wall in this W position hold for about five seconds and then back so we're extending through the shoulders extending through the back here and then here we're going to externally rotate and activate those back muscles as we get into this position so hopefully by the end of this you're feeling really good I always like to supplement my stretching with strengthening if you want a simple Core workout routine that you should

Going to try this for a few weeks. Need to start slow. Lol
Jesus has placed it on my heart to share the Gospel, which is in 1 Corinthians 15, gospel means good news! Jesus, God the Son the Son of God, died, and spilled His precious blood, on the cross to pay the price for our sins. He was buried and on the third day rose from the dead just like the scriptures said He would. Salvation is a gift from God, please accept it now if you haven't already by BELIEVING in what Jesus did for us. The rapture of the Church, when saved people are called up to Heaven to be with the Lord, is imminent. After the rapture the Lord gives another chance for salvation, people just can NOT take the mark of the Beast. The Mark of the Beast goes in the right hand or forehead and people may not buy or sell without it. In Mark 16:15, Jesus tells his followers to go into the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
Bro im 12 and im watching this before my basketball game
I watch this video every day, and these stretches are especially helpful after a full night’s sleep. 🫶🏾
I recommend starting a different stretch 10 sec before your Actully supposed to start it because people need time to understand the stretch. For example, if you were supposed to hold the stretch for 30 sec, you change it to 40 to explain.
Kept gettting up saying I was done but then u would do another stretch and i'd be like "I gotta try that" 😂😂
What do you think about vectors? Do you like them?
Is this for seniors?
Me at 40 and realizing that thia ia what I need 8n the mornings.
I can't sit with my legs straight out in front of me (I've never been able to touch my toes), keep my back straight, and can't touch the outside of my knee with my elbow for the thoracic rotation stretch. Can you recommend alternatives or should I just do what I can?
