Step 6 - Stretch Into your Day

Stretching the body is very important every day.
This can be done in as little as 5 minutes or up the 30 minutes a day. Anyone can stretch. Even for just 5 minutes of stretching you can feel re-energized. Stretch in the morning, during break time at work. You could even add a little 5 minute to 15 minute walk after stretching. Get out smell the fresh air. If it is to cold outside then walk around the house, around the room.


It is very good to stretch before you leave the house each day, before you start your daily exercise program and also to help relax at the end of the day.

As I said before you have got to start somewhere before you can get anywhere.

So here are some pictures of some general stretches, even for those of you in the chair. Do not overdo. Just stretch as far as your own body will go. If you have injuries or pain in the body, be careful please. Check with your doctor before doing any exercise to make sure you do not re-injure yourself.

After you have finished stretching be sure to drink at least 8 ounces of fresh water.
