5 Stretches You’ll Wish You Knew Sooner

Turns out, you don’t need a full-on workout to feel better—just five daily stretches can totally change how you move. Flexibility pro Tom Merrick swears by these: 90/90 for hip freedom, couch stretch for tight quads, deep squat for all-over mobility, hanging for shoulder health (and grip strength!), and the elephant walk for hamstrings. Do these and you’ll actually feel looser, less achy, and ready to tackle whatever the day throws at you. Who knew stretching could be this game-changing? #StretchingRoutine #Flexibility #Wellness #Fitness

Pelvic Stretches That Actually Help

If your hips or lower back feel stiff after sitting all day, you’re not alone. I started adding a few pelvic stretches to my routine and it’s made a huge difference in how I move (and how I feel). 🔸 Try the hip flexor warrior pose: Step one foot forward, bend your front knee, and keep your back leg straight. Hold for 20 seconds, then switch. You can do this almost anywhere. 🔸 Happy Baby Pose is a game-changer for pelvic floor tension. Lie on your back, grab your ankles, and gently pull your knees toward your chest. Breathe deep and hold for a minute. 🔸 Don’t skip the warm-up. Walk around for 10 minutes before stretching to avoid pulling anything. 🔸 Make it a habit. Just 10 minutes a day can help loosen things up and keep you moving better. You don’t need fancy equipment—just a little space and consistency. Your hips will thank you! #MobilityMatters #StretchingRoutine #PelvicHealth #Health #Fitness

Why I Stopped Rushing My Warm-Up

Used to blast through stretching before gymnastics, thinking it was just a box to check. Turns out, slowing down actually makes practice way smoother (and less painful). 🔸 For shoulders, pull one arm across your chest, then switch. Add a tricep stretch by pulling your elbow behind your head. Quick, but your arms will thank you. 🔸 Wake up your core by leaning back with your hands on your lower back. Seal stretch is a must—lie on your stomach, push up with your arms, and feel those abs open up. 🔸 Butterfly stretch for hips, then hit a downward dog for hamstrings. Push your hips up, heels down, and let your legs loosen up. Hold each stretch for about 15 seconds, repeat a couple times. It’s simple, but you’ll feel the difference in every move you make. #GymnasticsTips #StretchingRoutine #InjuryPrevention #Health #Fitness

Touch Your Toes? Here’s How I Got Closer

I used to laugh at the idea of touching my toes—felt impossible after hours at my desk. But I started making small changes, and it’s wild how much better my body feels. 🔸 Warm up first. Seriously, just walk around or do some jumping jacks for a few minutes. It makes stretching way easier. 🔸 My go-to moves: cat-cow for the back, a hamstring stretch (use a towel if you need), and downward dog. Take your time and breathe—no need to rush or bounce. 🔸 Pay attention to what your body’s telling you. If it hurts, ease up. Hold each stretch for about 30 seconds, and repeat a couple times. 🔸 Stick with it. Even 10 minutes a few times a week adds up. I track my progress by seeing how close I get to my toes each session. It’s not about being a yoga pro—it’s about moving and feeling better every day. #StretchingRoutine #DeskLife #MoveBetter #Health #Fitness
