It’s great that you want to incorporate stretching into your daily routine! Start with simple stretches like neck rolls, shoulder shrugs, and gentle forward bends. Set a specific time each day, perhaps after waking up or before bed, to create a meaningful ritual. To stay motivated, track your progress and celebrate small victories. Remember, consistency is key! As your body becomes more accustomed to stretching, you’ll notice increased flexibility and reduced stiffness. Keep it up!

Select 4 days of the week you will love to exercise. You can start by taking walking exercises for 10 minutes per day; increase the time to 15 to 20 minutes as you progress. Then, you can proceed to do other kinds of exercises for 20 minutes per day. Start small, take baby steps towards greater heights. Progress is easier that way!
