the neck and shoulders really helps relieve tension and give you a great start to the day otherwise, loosening up the hips and lower back is helpful to feel awake and mobile

My feet. They will bring me places all through out my day. Stretching the feet/ankles improves circulation in the body. I will honor my feet my stretching them well each morning to be prepared for whatever journey may lie ahead :)

Neck is most important part of body to stretch every morning. It prevents pre aging lines and give a fabulous look. If you have perfect neck you will look more graceful and attractive.

Hands and hips. Maybe legs too. They are the most unmoved part of the body in the night. And I need to stretch every day. 😁

Your neck 'hygene' is extremely important, especially since most of us are looking down at our phone, laptops etc for long periods of the day. Simple neck rotations and holding your head to one side (each side) is enough to just get those muscles warmed up, helping to prevent cramps, knots and tension headaches :)

the most important part to me is your back, especially if you are at a desk all day. if you hunch over a lot then stretching your back can help you not get any back problems in the future. i also think it’s important because it can help your posture as well.

I feel that a whole body stretch is important as you will use all of your muscles throughout the day. However if I have to choose Iwould say my lower back and legs are my most important stretches of the day. I spend alot of time walking and standing so it is imperative that I stretch my legs and back. Bending to touch my toes is a must. I like to hang there for a few moments to really let the stretch set in. Then I have to touch my right hand to left foot and left hand to my right foot. It is crucial for me to breathe during the stretches because your body will naturally get deeper into the stretch.

I think the most important part of your body to stretch in the morning is your back. Stretching your back will help you align your spine after you’ve slept and will give love to all the little bones that love there.

Every part of the body is important to stretch in the morning because it makes me feel free and it makes me feel like i can achieve anything i want.

I think it depends on you, when I wake up and feel really sore in an area, I usually stretch that one the most. I also stretch areas that are my problem areas (for example, I have neck pain most days).
