Stretching in the morning

In the morning, stretching you started off right. A few easy exercises to do at home before starting his day.

Here are some things that stretch you can do in the morning.

Traction of the neck with a towel

Do not break your neck. Look to the ceiling, take the towel by each end and push the neck back while resisting with the towel. This movement stretches the soft top of the column. Above all, do not break your neck back. Perform the movement for thirty seconds and repeat three times.

Complete the reverse movement

Pull the towel down, resisting the towel being installed on the bottom of the neck.

Always with the towel, this time placed in the back, vertically

Grasp each end and pull. Repeat the gesture several times, vertically and diagonally. Release the head against his chest. This movement helps to stretch the back muscles.

Sitting position, legs extended, feet reflexes

Pull the towel behind the heels, release the head and pull the towel towards you, straight legs, to stretch his back and hamstrings (posterior compartment of the thigh).

Upright, tilt your head to the side, shoulders relaxed

Then slowly bring the head in central position, releasing good chin on the chest (back left right), then go back to the vertical. Act the same on the other side. Repeat three times slowly on each side. This is an important and easy. It must neither neglect nor carry too quickly because it stretches the muscles of the neck and back, working a lot during the day.

Perform rotations shoulders up and back by squeezing your shoulder blades

Then release the round back with his chin on his chest. Pull down the column slowly upright.Repeat several times.

Perform stretching in bed

We often tend to stretch in the morning, it's a reflex. But do it voluntarily, stretch in all directions, his arms horizontally, or forward when the back round. You can also lie on the floor, bend your legs to have the lower back (lumbar spine) pinned to the ground and stretch your arms above your head, close to the ground, as far as possible, keeping the chin against the chest to lengthen the maximum of the neck vertebrae.
