Stretches That Will Ditch Your Aches and Pains
Maybe you're sore from hitting the gym like a maniac. Or perhaps you're dealing with chronic pain you can't seem to shake. Here are 7 simple stretches that'll put an end to your aches and pains so that you can start the New Year feeling great
Every New Year's Day, I have a surge of motivation to get fit. And in the first week of January, I typically start a gym membership, eat at least one salad a day, and pick up my pace on the treadmill so much that I look like I'm running from an angry pitbull.
"Just … one … more … mile …" was my last thought before collapsing on the sweat-soaked gym floor. And, you guessed it, I've been sore ever since. To help heal my aching muscles, I laid off the death-mill and sat down with Kimberly Fowler, owner of YAS Fitness Centers and author of "The No Om Zone."
I asked her what I could do to help my body work out its kinks and still meet my "get fit" goal. She created this mini yoga series that is perfect for both the spontaneous (and hurting) gym rats and those who struggle with chronic backaches and pains.
Skip ahead to see the 7 stretches that'll heal your aches and pains.
The best part is, you don't need a gym membership, snazzy Lululemon pants, or even a yoga mat. For these stretches, all you need is your body, the floor, and this handy guide. Plus, all these moves combined will take you less than 10 minutes to complete, so they're perfect to add to your morning routine. Looks like it's time to stop pressing the snooze button and start kicking off my days with these 7 pain-reducing stretches.
