Auto-advanceStart exercises automatically after a 5-second delay
Begin by standing tall with a tight core and looking straight ahead. Keep your chest up as you step forward with your right foot into a lunge position.
Lower the left knee to the ground. Extend the right knee forward.
Clasp your hands together and push them straight overhead. You’ll primarily feel the stretch in your hamstrings and hip flexors. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds then switch sides.
Standing with your feet at shoulder-width, toes pointing out, hold a pole/pvc pipe/broomstick in front of you. You can also do this stretch with a towel.
Make sure to brace your core before you lift the pole above your head in an arc motion. Keep the arms completely straight throughout.
Slowly move the pole behind you, focusing the stretch in the shoulders. Hold the stretch for the specified amount of time then slowly return to the starting position.
Primary muscle group(s):
Shoulders
Secondary:
Upper Back & Lower Traps
Standing with a flat back and tight core, raise your arms to the sides.
While focusing on the shoulders, slowly rotate your arms in a circular motion. Start with small circles. Gradually increase the size of the circles.
After completing one set of a pre-determined number (such as 10 repetitions), reverse the direction, going counter-clockwise.
After following a thorough warm-up session, stand tall on a walkway, treadmill, or other walkable area. Make sure that your chest is up, core is braced, shoulders are back, and gaze is straight ahead.
Begin by placing your left foot forward then shifting your hips to move the right leg forward. Continue this back and forth motion at a pace that is ideal for you.
You may also want to include small weights or a grip strengthener during your walks. Remember to maintain perfect form throughout the walk. Avoid slouching.
