Calf raises!! Think about those big toes and try to push off of them. Remember the motion is up to the ceiling with your body. let’s do 5x every time you stand up!

If you sit for most of the days your Hip flexor,pelvis and deep back muscles often get to tight. Here is a great active stretch you can do daily. This should really help stretch a lot of muscles out.

The massage hook is a great tool to have at home so you can get rid of those nagging tight muscles in your neck and shoulder region. Link is below. Make sure to move slowly while you keep pressure on the spasms. if you have any questions just leave a comment. 😊

If you ever feel like the regular stretches for your neck just don’t hit all the right spots. This stretch is for you! 3 steps to the one stretch to get all the muscles. Side bend rotate chin up and away and nod! Hold the stretch 5 seconds.

Accountability partners is the name of the game! We all need a little push, or a little help and a whole lot of laughs with keeping consistent with your exercise routine. Who’s your accountability partner?

Stretching Tuesday. This is one of my favorite stretches. Will stretch you low back , butt, hamstring and calf! Go slow into the stretch hold 10 seconds… take some deep breathes. Slowly come out and do the other side!

Slowly stretch the shoulders. Walk through the door frame to increase the stretch. Breathe and hold 3-5 seconds.

Stretching the neck and surrounding muscles of the shoulder is a great way to relax muscles soreness. Try this stretch. Get in and out of the stretch slowly. Hold for 5-10 seconds.

Resisted External rotation is a great way to turn on the muscles and activate the rotator cuff to decrease your shoulder pain. Don’t forget perfect posture. Slow and controlled 5x
