After a long and busy
week there is nothing better than taking a few minutes to get back in tune with
yourself. A great way to get back in tune with your body is taking a few
minutes to stretch out your muscles. Another great thing to try and do each
Sunday? Try preparing a homemade meal; it will help you start the week in a
healthier way. Check out my Sunday Recipe Blogs for fun and easy recipes to try!
Stretch - Although extremely simple
this exercise stretches the hip joints and increase blood circulation to the
lower half of your body. Remember, this exercise is meant to be preformed
slowly.
Using a stable object for support
balance on one leg, keeping your knee slightly bent. Make sure you are standing
with good posture as to thwart off injury. Gently swing the leg you are not
using for support back. You can swing the leg back to as much as a 45-degree
angle, but remember this is just a stretch so don’t go swinging your leg
wildly. Bring the leg back down and then following the same swing motion move the leg up to 45 degrees in front of the body. Do this up to twenty times on one leg and then repeated on
the other. Make sure that you are not arching your back while swinging your leg
as this makes the stretch less beneficial.
