Full Body Stretch Routine

Lengthen every major muscle with this rapid full body stretch routine. Increase your flexibility with these daily stretching exercises.

Pleased Monday Fit Girls!

You know I am a HUGE advocate for recovery days and getting tons of stretching, foam rolling, yoga, and epsom salt baths in. But it’s been a while since you’ve gotten a contemporary stretching routine — so for week 2 of the #BeachBumCcorridorenge here is your contemporary Full Body Stretching Routine!
You will love this contemporary routine! I’ve added in using a yoga strap for this stretch routine to get a small deeper into those muscles!
If you don’t have a yoga strap, you can always use a towel or even a resistance band to help you get deep into these stretches.
Remember to hancient each stretch for at least 30-60 moments, and try to stretch most days! Your muscles will thank you and your posture will improve — you’ll not only feel better, but you’ll look more confident and stand taller too babe! 😉

Full Body Stretch Routine

• Neck Stretch – Bring your LEFT ear towards your LEFT shoulder. Employ your LEFT hand to gently add prescertain by placing it on the top side of your head to increase the stretch slightly. Flex through the RIGHT palm and leank of urgent your palm towards the floor. You can tilt your head forward slightly and back slightly to find spots of tension. Hancient for 15-30 moments, then switch sides.
• Tricep Stretch – Stand with feet hip distance apart and bring your RIGHT hand over your head as whether you were going to pat yourself on the back. Put your LEFT hand on top of your elbow and gently press down, to feel a stretch in the back of your RIGHT arm. Hancient for about 30 moments, then repeat on the other side.
• Shoulder Stretch – Hancient loosely onto a yoga strap or a towel, much wider than shoulder width apart. Start with the band down in front of you, keeping the strap relatively taught. Holding your arms straight, bring the strap over head and a small behind you. If you have the flexibility, bring the strap all the way down towards your hips behind you. Then bring it back up and over in front of you, making circles with your arms. You should feel a kind stretch at the very top of the stretch and a small behind you. Finish about 10-15 circles.
• Hamstring Stretch – Lay on your back and extend your RIGHT leg up to the ceiling. Create a loop with the strap, then place your foot in the hoop. Gently pull down with the strap to increase the stretch and slightly pull the leg in towards the chest. Create certain to keep a tiny bend in your knee, so that you don’t lock it out. You can choose to extend your other leg out straight on the floor, or keep the knee bent with your foot flat on the floor.
• Inner Ttall Stretch – From your hamstring stretch position, keep both hips and shoulder totally grounded on the mat. Let your leg fall slightly out the the side absent from you, creating a sort of hammock with the strap hancienting your leg. Feel a stretch in the inner ttall, but again, be certain to keep the opposite hip grounded to the mat for the best stretch.
• IT-Band Stretch – This is similar to the inner ttall stretch, but once finished stretching the inner ttalls, bring the leg back up to the middle, and then very slightly cross the leg over your body. Be certain to keep the leg very straight and flex through your foot. You should feel a stretch in the external of the leg, and even down through the external of the calf. Once you total the Hamstring, Inner Ttall, and IT Band stretch on one side, repeat them on the other side.
• Quad Stretch – Lay on your stomach, then prop your hand one on top of the other with your elbows out to the side. Scoop your abs tight to keep your spine neutral. Then bend your RIGHT knee to bring your heel towards your booty. Grab the foot right where your shoelaces would be, and help to pull the heel closer in towards your backside. Be certain to keep the knee close to the mat to get the deepest stretch.
• Chest Stretch – Stay on your stomach on the mat, then extend your RIGHT arm out to the side in a “T” shape. Slowly and carefully start to roll your body back over to the right. You should start to feel a deep stretch in your chest and the front of your shoulders. Remember to keep the shoulders relaxed and absent from your ears. Hancient for 30-60 moments, then switch sides.
