☀️☕️Morning Routine Activated! 🏃🏃‍♀️

✨Here are three simple stretches. We can do first thing in the morning. I have so many clients who tell me, Jay I’m always sore getting out of bed and I dont know why. Well as we all know laying down for any length of time our body wants to move, so in this video I show how to perform three simple exercises knee fall outs, cat camel, and trapezius stretch. I hope you enjoy them and give them a try.

🔅Knee Fall Outs

 Lay flat on your back with your knees bent bring your knees up to your chest, put your arms out to the side with palms facing down. Move your knees to the left and right and only go as low and far as you can comfortably. Go until you feel a slight pull in the lower part of your back. Repeat this movement 6-8 times per side and do 3 sets of this.

🔆 Cat-Camel

1. Starting Position:
Begin on your hands and knees, with your hands directly under your shoulders and your knees under your hips.

2. Cat Phase (Rounding the Back):
Inhale deeply, and as you exhale, round your spine towards the ceiling, tucking your chin to your chest and your tailbone under. This should feel like an arching stretch in your upper back.

3. Camel Phase (Arching the Back):
As you inhale, reverse the movement, dropping your belly towards the floor, lifting your chest and head, and arching your lower back. Avoid over-arching, and keep the movement within a comfortable range.

4. Repeat:
Continue alternating between the Cat and Camel positions, moving slowly and rhythmically with your breath. Repeat this movement 6-8 times with 3 sets.

🔆 Trapezius Stretch

Gently tilt your head to the side, brining your ear towards your shoulder. You can use your opposite hand and gently guide your head further, but avoid pulling forcefully. Hold this stretch for 10-20 secs and do this 3 times.

Our bodies can do unstoppable things if we don’t let our mind tell us otherwise! I hope this post is an encouragement to you, set goals and work hard. When your mind tells you “don’t do it” or “you can’t”-prove it wrong.

Stretching your neck can be super beneficial! It can help improve flexibility, reduce tension, and even alleviate pain. Here are some key benefits:

1. *Reduces muscle tension*: Stretching can help relax tight neck muscles, which can become strained from poor posture, stress, or overuse.
2. *Improves range of motion*: Regular neck stretches can increase flexibility and make it easier to move your head and neck.
3. *Relieves pain*: Stretching can help reduce neck pain caused by muscle strain, poor posture, or other issues.
4. *Enhances posture*: By loosening tight neck muscles, stretching can help improve your overall posture.

Some simple neck stretches you can try:

1. Neck Flexion: Tuck your chin in and then roll your head forwards. You should feel a gentle stretch at the back of your neck. Return to the start position and repeat.
2. Neck Flexion Overstretch: Bend your neck forwards, and place a hand on the back of your head and gently pull your neck so that your chin tucks downwards. This will stretch your neck muscles. Hold stretch for the required time, and relax.
3. Isometric Neck Flexion: Place your palm on your forehead, and resist flexion of your neck while keeping your head still. Hold, and then relax. You should feel the muscles at the front and side of your neck contracting.

Remember to breathe deeply and slowly while stretching, and don't bounce or force beyond a comfortable range.
