Saturday's Stretch and Flexibility -- Lower Body and Upper Body Active Stretch

Yay!  I love Saturdays!  It means stretching and I sooooo need to stretch more!!!


Today I'm posting two stretch routines from FitnessBlender .  They are a little bit different from most stretch routines. The first one is lower body specific.  You will actively stretch some muscles as you contract and tone others (usually the opposing muscle).  Balance is key factor here as well, which is something that is always good to work on.  There are 8 stretches total.  Each stretch is held for 60 seconds with a 15 second rest in between.



The second one is upper body specific plus lower back.  There are also 8 active stretches in this routine.  It is done the same way.
