Keep Stretching EVERY DAY

Posted by terrepruitt on August 19, 2024

So, hopefully you are stretching every day. And you understand it doesn’t have to interrupt your day. You can stretch during your daily routine. If you like stretching and you make the time to do it separately from your daily habits, that is great. I am all for that, but I know that people are so busy so I am just trying to encourage people to stretch EVERY DAY and give you ideas (or reminders) on how to do it.

Here is a squat. As you can see I am brushing my teeth while squatting. Ok, maybe you can’t actually see because these stretch pictures I have been posting are blurring, but that is ok with me, I am just trying to give you ideas and remind you that you can stretch EVERY DAY!

As always with my STRETCH EVERY DAY reminders I am not describing HOW to do the stretch, but I have already done a couple of posts on squatting so you can look back at those if you would like. What would be really cool, is if you read them while squatting. 🙂

Squatting Does A Body Good

Garland Or Malasana Or Squat

So, are you still stretching?

  1. Hi Terre,
    I go to the gym 3 days a week but I have come to realise that stretching and balance are also impotant as I get older. Simple things like standing on one foot, is good exercise for keeping your balance.
    Like the old adage says “Use it or lose it”.
    Best Wishes

    • I just read your post where you mentioned you go to the gym 3 days a week. 🙂 YES! Use it or lose it is so true. And for some people “as I get older” applies, but in reality, stretching, balance, mobility, all of that is important no matter one’s age. And, yes, I often tell my students to practice their balance by standing on one foot! Thanks for sharing. Try to get your stretches in!
