For me, I usually do a few Sun Salutations. That\u2019s a good way to get all your main muscle groups, especially if you add Lunge, Triangle, Warrior, or Tree poses. I also like Butterfly pose: sit with the soles of your feet together and lean forward to touch the floor in front of you if you want a challenging lower back stretch. Thread the Needle is also great for your shoulders. I love the Youtube channel \u2018Yoga with Adrianne\u2019 for when I\u2019m looking for a more structured or targeted practice. Her videos are suitable for all levels and come in a variety of lengths. Hope this helps and happy stretching!<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-418882881\"><div id=\"thefa-1908786730\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Start making your days count<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Try now<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Shaniah N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Downward dog, pigeon pose, leg window wipers (dunno what they\u2019re called but you sit the ground with your feet flat on the ground about shoulder width apart, and let them fall to the right side on the ground, back up again then to the other side; window wipers), frog pose with elevated heel then switch to flat heel, good for calves and achilles)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Darla G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Full body stretch! Head rolls then arm and rust circles. Forward bend then a lunge. after I touch my toes and then do the same thing on the other side! After both sides I do a cobra stretch to stretch out my back! The last step is stretching my hip flexors and rolling my ankles! This stretch is great for me!!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mattallyn O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Every morning I sit in a butterfly stretch on my bed or floor and do neck circles clockwise for 10 seconds then i switch to counterclockwise for another 10 seconds. After that I do shoulder rolls for 10 seconds I then stretch my legs in a butterfly stretch for 20 seconds. Lastly, I do a plank for two minutes, but if you\u2019re just starting out, I suggest doing 30 seconds first and working yourself up. Hope this helps!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marharyta M.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Personally I start from something light like stretching my arms and moving them around, moving my neck, and getting my whole body to wake up after sleeping. After that I start with something more serious like toe touch, runner\u2019s touch, side reach. Lately I\u2019ve been trying to do splits too and back exercises.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amber T.
