Share the Joy of Stretching

Make sure to add this project to your agenda and share it with someone who would enjoy a relaxing stretch session!

Find a Comfortable Space

Begin by locating a comfortable and quiet area where you can stretch without interruptions. This could be your living room, a space at the gym, or even a park if the weather is pleasant.

Set a Timer for 10 Minutes

Use a timer to ensure you dedicate the full 10 minutes to stretching. This keeps you focused and prevents the session from extending longer than planned.

Begin with Breathing Exercises

• Take slow, deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth.
• Focus your mind on your breath for two minutes to start the session in a relaxed state.

Perform Gentle Stretches

1. Neck Stretch: Gently tilt your head towards each shoulder, holding for a few seconds.
2. Shoulder Rolls: Roll your shoulders forward and backward to release tension.
3. Side Stretch: Reach one arm over your head and lean to the opposite side.
4. Forward Fold: Gently bend forward at the hips, keeping your knees slightly bent.
5. Calf Stretch: Step one foot back and press the heel to the ground.

Conclude with Relaxation

After your stretches, take a moment to lie down on your back or sit comfortably. Close your eyes and take a few breaths to relax and reflect on how your body feels.
