Today's routine is part 1 of a 3 part series that I will be posting for today and the next two Saturdays. It is about 10 minutes long and focuses on opening up and stretching the hips, legs and lower back.
It's very important in stretching that you only take your body as far as it wants to go--you should feel a good stretch with some resistance, but it shouldn't be painful. After holding a stretch for a while, you will be able to feel the muscle relaxing and lengthening. If you feel it tightening, you are taking it too far.
With regular practice, you can gain flexibility in these joints and muscles so that you may be able to go further in the future.
