I usually do ashtanga yoga as my workout. It\u2019s so uncomfortable in the morning that I end up usually waiting til the evening when I\u2019m not so stiff, but I would prefer to do it in the morning. Any suggestions on warming up stiff joints\/muscles before getting started?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

I\u2019d suggest doing a little bit of cardio to warm up your muscles before you stretch. Even 10 minutes can help and cardio before your workout helps your endurance! I\u2019d also recommend getting a foam roller. The first time I tried it I was a young athlete and had constant aches no matter how many times I stretched. The first time I foam rolled my thighs and calves it was overwhelming. It\u2019s tough to get through but you hit all the little muscles that are harder to stretch and that are maybe forgotten. 10/10 recommend!!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>
