How often do you complain about not having enough time to stretch? It would seem that it is not at all difficult to allocate at least 5 minutes a day, but according to the law of meanness, it is these 5 minutes that become vital for doing completely different things! If this is your case, we have good news for you: you can stretch out while watching your favorite TV shows. You always have 25 minutes for at least one episode, right?;)

So, these five stretching options can be performed by anyone, even the most wooden person. Your level of physical fitness is not important here. What matters is that you do it! And if you want to complicate the task, then the two exercises have variations for the pros.

TV Stretch

5 stretches you can do while watching TV:

First optionopens the hips, relieves tension from the buttocks and lower back. If you find it difficult to fold your legs the way BJ Gaddour does, you can sit almost in a Turkish manner, but try to put the foot of the leg, which will be on top, a little closer to the knee. If the shown option seems too easy for you, try to gently bend forward and to both knees alternately. Remember to stretch on both legs (2-5 minutes on each side)!

From the first position, you can easily go to second: It helps to stretch the muscles and tendons that normally work during deep squats. And don't forget to change your legs.

Third exercisestretches the inner and outer thighs. In this case, the stomach should be drawn in, the abdominal muscles should be tense, the shoulders should be straightened and lowered (do not pull your head into your shoulders!).

Fourth option- the most common transverse fold. Open your hips as wide as you can, and try with a straight back, without bending your knees, slowly stretch forward and down. For a change, you can alternate bending forward with bends to both legs alternately: left leg - forward - right leg.

Finally, fifth option - A stretch for the shoulder muscles, which also relieves tension from the lower back. To do this exercise, you will need a sofa or chair to lean on.

On average, one episode of the series is 25 minutes long, so you have enough time to complete all five exercises!
