position of your thumbs, and if they're pointing towards each other, it means
your shoulders have rounded, and you probably look something like this with a
little bit of a slouch, rather than this which is good posture, and your
shoulders are back and everything is nice and straight. So actually the secret

the muscles that surround the spine are really weak, our shoulders will
naturally hump over like this, which will make us look really really short, and

Just do
this about five times, shoulders stretch, this stretch is to fix the muscles
that cause slouching and rounded shoulders, reach the forearm backwards
slightly, just after you get in that position, hook the arms against something
like a wall or a doorway, then rotate your chest towards the other direction,
while still trying to reach back with the arms, and take a stride out to really
push into that stretch, now hold this for about thirty seconds at a time, and
this helps all the muscles that link from the neck to the shoulders and also
the chest and back, hip flexor stretch, starting off by kneeling on your legs,
bend one leg out in front of you with the flat foot on the floor, if you feel
discomfort in the front of your knee, place a towel under the knee for support,
now keeping your back straight, put your hands on one knee for balance and
slowly push your hips forward until you feel a stretch in the upper thigh or
your back leg and hip, and then hold this stretch for at least 15 to 20
seconds, then you want to repeat it on the other leg, the hip flexors are in
the hips and it helps improve flexibility but more importantly lengthens the
muscles which also help to restore overworked tissues and muscles in the legs.
Another version of the hip flexor stretch is to lay one leg on the floor and
bend the other leg and clutch it into your chest, you feel the stretch on the
thigh, and make sure to keep the hips square and secure, so they're both
planted on the ground, you can apply pressure on the knee, and just push and
force that down until you feel the stretch, Toe lift, stop by standing straight
with your heels on the ground, then lift as high as you can, and hold that
position, and then gently lay the feet back on the ground, keep your legs
straight and feel like an imaginary string that's pulling your head upwards
through your spine all the way down to your toes, now repeat this for 30
seconds about eight to ten times a day, so how does this work, when your heels
are raised, the largest blood vessels are filled with blood, due to the muscle
contractions, and when the heels are dropped back down, the blood turns around
and immediately starts moving towards your heart, therefore reducing the strain
on your heart, and at the same time blood gets access to all the muscles
therefore allowing them to stretch much better and elongate the entire body,
but we're not done yet
