New Stretches

At the end of each regular session and on my “days off” I will be doing the following stretches from the Men’s Health Big Book of Exercises":

  • Kneeling hip flexor (hips, quads)
  • Kneeling Swiss ball lat stretch (back)
  • Hamstring stretch on bench (hamstrings)
  • Doorway stretch (chest)
  • Pigeon (hamstrings)
  • Sleeper stretch (shoulders)
  • Straight and bent leg calf stretch (calves)
  • Half kneeling rotation (core)

Today I did the Stairmaster cardio machine at a steady pace at a level that would put me in the 75% MHR, followed by the stretches above.  I will again do viniyoga tonight followed by meditation.  Last night’s music was too depressing (free download) so I am trying something different tonight.  Next up, nutrition.
