If you are new to the world of fitness but want to start your day with a morning workout, incorporating some stretching exercises can be a great way to begin. These exercises are meant to be beginner-friendly and can be done in the comfort of your own home.
Starting your day with a morning workout can help you feel more energized and focused throughout the day. Stretching exercises, in particular, can help improve flexibility, reduce muscle stiffness and soreness, and increase blood flow to your muscles.
Here are a few simple stretches to get you started:
1. Neck Rolls: Begin by sitting or standing with a straight back. Gently drop your chin towards your chest and then slowly rotate your head in a circular motion, bringing your right ear towards your right shoulder, then back to the center, and then to your left shoulder. Repeat this for a few rotations in each direction.
2. Shoulder Rolls: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Slowly roll your shoulders forward in a circular motion, making sure to keep your movements controlled and smooth. After a few rotations, switch to rolling your shoulders backward.
3. Side Stretches: Stand up straight and extend your right arm overhead. Gently bend your torso to the left, feeling a stretch along the right side of your body. Hold this position for 15-30 seconds, then repeat on the other side.
