#catstretch

Woke up at 5 am Saturday morning in pure excitement to find out the gender of my wife and I’s baby. (Its a boy! 💙) Knowing it was going to a long day I thought it was smart to do a 45 minute stretch routine. Here’s the first few minutes and my “go-to” beginner #stretches: - #SingleLegStretch- One leg in, one leg out. Keep one straight leg locked, the other bent either foot lined up next to thigh. Reach straight down with two hands to focus on #hamstrings. As you see I work my way reaching from the inside of my foot to the outer ridge. This is to target all of my specific areas of #tightness. Then switch legs. - #ButterflyStretch- Feet together, back straight, breath into the stretch and go as deep as you can. - #FrogStretch- Targeted for the groin and hips. Open your knees as far as they can go, spread open your feet to line up with your knees and sink into the stretch trying to sit your butt to the floor. For a deeper stretch drop to your elbows. * Bonus use this as an opportunity for a quick #neckstretch! I circle my neck a few times in a circle, then in the opposite direction. Look all the way left then right, up then down. - #ChildsPose or as some #martialarts styles call it #CatStretch- knees together #stretch your arms straight out as far as you can, and relax back into your feet. Then sink further into it to target other areas of tightness by opening your knees slightly and sinking your hips to the floor. #BosyByBrutality #TeamBrutality https://www.instagram.com/p/ByO07M2HS0E/?igshid=er15w6vyd7z3
