The Standing Outer Hip Stretch

The standing outer hip stretch will help to relax the muscles in your legs.  To do this stretch, you can begin by crossing your right foot over your left foot so that they are about a foot apart from each other.  Place your right hand on your hip.  Now reach over your head with your left arm and bend your torso to the right.  Hold the stretch for 20 seconds and then switch sides and repeat the stretch.

The Back Slumping Stretch

Here’s another stretch to help loosen up the muscles in your back.  It is a good stretch to do in the morning if your back becomes stiff while sleeping.  Start by getting down on the ground on your hands and knees.  At first, be sure to keep your abs nice a tight so that you may protect your back.  Now loosen your abs and let your spine fall as if to press your spine to the floor.  Hold for 15 seconds and then move back into the original position.  Repeat if necessary.

Back Stretches

Here is a relaxing back stretch that you can do at the kitchen counter.  Place your hands on the counter, shoulders width apart.  Come about four feet away from the counter so that you’re your fingers are just hanging on to the surface.  Spread your legs about four feet apart and let your torso dip forward as your hanging on to the counter.  Now hold this stretch for about 30 seconds and repeat if needed.
