Follow me through this upper body recovery stretch routine.
Taking some time to stretch, massage and relax your muscles after intense workouts is so important to your overall wellness and long term success with Living Lean.
The small investment of just 5 minutes of your time after your workouts is all you need to enjoy better recovery.
To follow this stretch routine:
1) If you are not warmed up yet, do 20 reps of jumping jacks. If you are doing this immediately post workout you can skip this step.
2) Doorframe Side Stretch
3) Upper Back & Lats Foam Rolling
4) Thread the Needle Stretch
In a kneeling position, loop one arm through the middle and reach until you can place your shoulder on the ground. Hold this stretch for a deep breath, then switch sides. Continue alternating for 3 per side.
5) Seated Neck Stretches
In any comfortable seated position, reach your right hand down towards the ground while stretching your neck the opposite direction. Alternate sides for 3 times per side, being gentle and careful not to pull on your neck.
Next make big circles with your head to stretch all sides of your neck.
That’s it! You can spend longer on this if you like doing additional reps or more time with each stretch, but spending at least 5 minutes at the end of your workouts will help you recover faster and see better results from your training.
