It is not how old you are, but how you are old. | | – Jules Renard – | | | | Workout of the Day
| | | | | | | | Standing Forward Bend With Raised Hands | This exercise stretches posterior muscles, improves arm flexibility, and includes a light cardio component.
Step 1: Start by standing as tall as you can with your arms to your sides and your feet shoulder-width apart for stability.
Step 2: Slowly bend forward while keeping your back and knees straight until you touch the floor with your palms or reach as far as possible. Move slowly, taking about 2 seconds to move down and back up again.
Step 3: Slowly reach straight overhead with both arms, then lower them back to your sides.
Step 4: This counts as 1 repetition. Try to perform 3 sets of 12 stretches.
If you find it difficult to bend down all the way, try holding the position for a few seconds while keeping your back and knees straight. This will allow your muscles to stretch gradually. Avoid the temptation to bend your knees or round your back to reach further. |
