Step by step
How to do the routine.
Step 1 · 60 seconds
Forearm stretch
- Sit tall and extend one arm forward, palm up.
- Use your other hand to gently draw the fingers down and back toward you.
- Release and change sides.
Keep your shoulder relaxed and your elbow soft.
For less intensity, reduce the pressure on your hand and keep the wrist movement small.
Step 2 · 60 seconds
One arm hug standing
- Stand tall and bring one arm across your chest.
- Use your opposite forearm to gently draw it closer.
- Release and repeat on the other side.
Keep the stretching shoulder down and the elbow below shoulder height.
For less intensity, loosen the arm position and keep your shoulders relaxed.
Step 3 · 60 seconds
Wall pecs
- Stand beside a wall and place one forearm against it, elbow bent.
- Step gently forward and turn your chest away from that arm.
- Release and repeat on the other side.
Keep your shoulder down and the stretch gentle.
For less intensity, position your arm lower and take a smaller step or turn away.
Step 4 · 60 seconds
Side bend seated
- Sit tall with your feet flat on the floor.
- Raise one arm overhead and lean gently to the opposite side.
- Return to center and repeat on the other side.
Keep both hips on the seat and avoid leaning forward.
For less intensity, keep your hand on your hip and lean only a little.
Step 5 · 60 seconds
Spinal twist
- Lie on your back with one knee bent and arms open to the sides.
- Guide the bent knee across your body while keeping your shoulders down.
- Return to center and repeat on the other side.
Place a cushion under the bent knee if needed; avoid forcing the twist.
For less intensity, make the turn smaller and keep your shoulders relaxed.
Step 6 · 60 seconds
Seated hamstring
- Sit near the front of a sturdy chair.
- Extend one leg with the heel down and toes pointing up.
- Hinge forward gently, then sit up and change sides.
