Love the Skin You're In Day 18

July Challenge - Love the Skin You're In Day 18

Today we're going to focus on flexibility with a few videos, whatever time and energy you have, that's what you do.

"Better flexibility may improve your performance in physical activities or decrease your risk of injuries by helping your joints move through their full range of motion and enabling your muscles to work most effectively. Stretching also increases blood flow to the muscle." - The Mayo Clinic

We'll start with a  "Increased Flexibility Daily Routine". No extra equipment is needed, except a comfortable place to do your floor work. There is a fairly long intro to this video, the actual stretching starts about a minute and forty seconds in. 

Our second video is "How To Yoga Stretches for Low Back Pain".  Again, you will not need any equipment, just space on the floor.  You can use a yoga mat or towel if you wish.  The video is designed to relieve lower back pain, but it will be helpful for anyone, as it stretches the muscles in the legs and lower back.  The video runs a little over 14 minutes. 

Our third video is "Yoga to Make You Happy", which runs about 13 minutes.  This third video will include cardio and will help tone your legs.  Be prepared to move around a lot for this one - it's designed to be a dance party. 

Our final video is  Stretching for Flexibility.  This video is pilates, and again, you will not need any equipment except a mat if you want one.  The video runs 10 minutes.  This video will increase your overall flexibility.
