5 Stretches to Do in the Morning

Upward Stretch

It's a little cliche, but I always greet the morning by raising my arms — it's a great way to get the blood flowing and wake up the body. Lace your fingers together and raise your hands above your head, palms facing upward. Elongate your spine and feel the stretch in your ribcage and arms. Hold for a count of ten and then incorporate a sitting side stretch into the sequence to target your torso.
