Morning Stretch feels so good!

How good is it to get the blood flowing and wake up the muscles after a night's rest! 😊 Cats and dogs do it too, and there's good reason for it. That full-body stretch loosens up the whole body! Something I love to do is to lay flat in my bed and stretch out my legs and my arms over my head similar to a star position in yoga.

What is your favorite stretching position (in the morning)?

@amiablePeace77 I think I agree with you about just stretching out as you just wake up. There's nothing like that stretch, especially when your muscles quiver afterwards 😂

@fruityPond7887

How about doing a brief massage before stretching, maybe it helps with the muscle quivering 😊

@amiablePeace77 What is your favorite stretching position (in the morning)?

I love doing yoga stretches laying in bed flat on my back. I do a combo of different ones I learned so there is not one video but the first 11 minutes of this one are some of the ones I do . https://youtu.be/Teo0f1ab1PY

Stretching my arms out, bending at the waist, and touching my toes. It's great for stretching out my hamstrings, calves, and back. It feels wonderful.

So sorry to hear this. Stretching should never be painful, it might feel a little uncomfortable to easy into a stretch but pain is not okay.

@amiablePeace77 I am just greatful to be able to get out of bed.

There are days when it is hard.

Getting old, is not fun, in terms of your body.

I have Cp on top of this as well.

I love doing meditation, because it is quit helpful, it does relax your body somewhat.

So grateful to the people who came up with this art forum.
