10 stretches to do in the morning for warming up, mobility and flexibility
1. Child's pose
Bonus if you can also stretch from side to side in child's pose (left and right)
2. Cat and cow with arm stretches
After doing cat and cow, you can stay in table top position and reach with your right arm up and then reach with your left arm up
3. Superman
Lay on the ground and stretch your arms and legs out and up
4. Cobra
Lying on the ground, use your arms to prop your upper body up (looking like a seal)
5. Happy baby
Lying on your back, reach for the soles of your feet
6. Hip flexors
Kneeling on one leg with your other leg behind you, lean forward until you feel a stretch in your hip. Repeat with the other leg.
7. Deep squat
As much as possible, squat down with your feet completely touching the ground. If you can't get there, squat down as much as possible and hold for 30 seconds (or hold on to a door or a table and squat down)
8. Shoulder rolls
Roll your shoulders forward and backwards
9. Leg swings
Holding on to a table or something else for support, swing your left leg and then your right leg back and forth
10. Neck circles
Slowly, look at your armpit, then your chest, and then your other armpit. Reverse.
