Warm-up: Stretching
It is important to start your routine by stretching. You must prepare your body for the activities to come. You have to stretch your entire body: • Neck • Shoulders • Face • Hands and fingers • Spine • Hips • Arms and legs • Ankles and feet The best way to start is in an upright position, with your shoulders back, facing forward. You can start stretching from head to toe. Hold every stretch for 20 seconds. Let us do a few nice stretches. You can play relaxing music in the background. 1.
Neck Stand upright. Place your hands behind your back. Keep your head up with eyes facing forward. Move your neck slowly to the left and then to the right. Repeat the exercise 10 times per side.
