What is your stretching routine in the morning?

I'm looking for something short, ~5min, but if you have a longer one I'd love to hear it, too

Wait... We're supposed to have stretching routines?

I have a (rather ancient now) DVD: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0500066/, which contains a nice 20-minute (30 with the meditation) morning stretch. I try to do that every day.

I just did a quick search and it appears that someone has ripped it and put it on YouTube. Maybe grab it in case it gets taken down. https://youtu.be/Z_qdhpYTtQQ

During the lockdown I originally started doing all the stretching routines from this YouTube vid: https://youtu.be/9X-4dGjcIcQ

Now, I shortened it to just a few essentials that I do for ~30 secs each

  • Bound Angle
  • Seated cross shin
  • saddle (quads)
  • downward dog (calf)
  • sphinx (ab)
  • frog (inner thigh)
  • standing toe touch (hamstring & back)

How do you prevent yourself falling asleep during the stretch?

i should stretch much more than i do but i like to tilt my head back and rock it from one shoulder to the other. the crunch is extra satisfying.

This one is exactly five minutes and does a good enough job for me :)
