At the moment my stretching is centred around elongation my spine and relaxing the muscles ok my upper back. I do have a set of prescribed stretches for rhat6
I focus on my back, shoulders and hamstrings as I am in office work. I always finish my stretches off with the rag doll, rolling all parts of my spine down to the floor.
I focus my stretching more in my leg area as I would like to soon achieve a split. I also have very tight hamstrings that stop me from doing my best in my strength training. As of recently I haven’t been working out at all and my fitness level is depreciating. I want to start off slow and work myself up to going to the gym everyday and feeling confident in my strength again.
I try to focus on different areas every time but the goal is mostly to elongate my core and stretch out my hips. I love yoga but prefer to do it privately as opposed to in a class with friends.
I use yoga based stretches to warm up in the morning. I usually focus on my shoulders and hips as they usually support most of my stress and dont move much while I am sleeping or in an extended state of rest.
I use different yoga positions and the famous reach for your toes and then twisting from side to side which is good for detox for the body too.
I do a bottom to top stretching. I start with my toes, similar to yoga steetching, concentrating on each muscle group. Doing deep breathing at the same time. It really wakes me up an inch at a time.
I personally vibe with my body and go with the movements it gives me and it helps to connect myself to how my body is feeling
I focus more on my lower back area as it tends to hurt the most. I don’t really have any specific exercises other then one which is my favorite, the downward dog yoga pose. It helps me stretch out my back.
Normally on places that I feel sore, if I did some specific exercise or walked more than usual, on the next day I stretch those muscles who feel a little bit tired
