Back Stories | #10 Just Stretch

Just went for a run and want to stretch? Feel sore from yesterdays workout and need a release? Or having a don't-really-feel-like-working-out day but still want to do something? How about a nice and easy stretch? Gaining range of motion and mobility in your chest, shoulders, back and neck. And if you like it: Why not add to it your daily workout routine? A whole new core series is in the making and will be available soon. Make sure to follow and stay tuned. Core principles in our Back Stories Series are: - lengthening rather than contracting - engaging the whole body from the heel to the crown of the head - pulling the shoulder blades down and towards the spine - as I call it - tips of the shoulder blades kissing - putting the shoulder girdle back in place by pulling the elbows out of the shoulder (just imagining) - strong anchors in heel, tail bone and sitting bones - free spine, neck and head - open wings (arms) As always we mobilize and stretch as well as strengthen our spine and shoulder girdle. You will tone your hips and glutes and be more at ease to stand proud and tall. In Back Stories we take care of our neck, shoulders and back and practice self-love. We use work in extension and outward rotation to create length and space. The neck, back and shoulders open and release tension to gain more freedom. We increase mobility and range of motion. All Back Stories workouts can be practiced without any need of equipment. I recommend using a soft floor, carpet or sticky mat for cushioning. This is a home workout you can do anytime and anywhere.
