Use Stretching Exercises to Start Your Day Off Right

Do you ever wake up in the morning feeling stiff and uncomfortable? It may be a once in a while thing like sleeping in the wrong position or may be an ongoing problem like a sore back. I know on many mornings, I have woken up walking like a zombie. I felt stiff, tight, and clumsy.

Here’s a great way to wake up those tight muscles. Try stretching in the shower. Yes, in the shower. The warm water will relax your muscles, increase your blood flow and make your muscles more supple.

Here are some of the benefits of stretching:
• Stretching both before and after exercising lengthens your
muscles
• Improves tissue flexibility and elasticity
• Increases blood flow
• Makes your muscles more supple
• Helps to prevent injuries
• Helps with your balance and coordination
• Improves your range of motion
• Improves circulation
• Helps to improve posture
• Reduces stress
• Helps you to wake up in the morning, feeling fresh and ready to go
• You can do it anywhere – even in the shower

Do you love a warm, soothing shower in the morning as much as I do? Isn’t it a great way to start the day? By adding just a couple of extra minutes to your morning routine, you can start your day relaxed, invigorated, warmed up and ready for anything.

Wouldn’t you feel great starting your day stress free with a warm and cozy feeling? You’ll feel more awake and optimistic. And you’ll also help to prevent injuries caused by stiff muscles and joints. And if you shower at night, stretching is a great way to get rid of the stresses from that day. So start your day off tomorrow with a warm, soothing shower and some stretching time. You’ll start your day off feeling great.
