Transcript
00:00If you wake up feeling stiff, tight, or slower than you'd like, you're not alone.
00:05Most people over 60 tell me mornings are the hardest.
00:09But here's the good news.
00:11Just five minutes of gentle stretching can change your entire day.
00:15Let me show you an easy routine your body will love.
00:19As we age, our joints need more time to wake up.
00:22A gentle routine signals your muscles, spine, and hips.
00:27Hey, it's a new day.
00:29Let's move with ease.
00:31We begin with slow breathing.
00:34Inhale deeply.
00:36Exhale softly.
00:38This relaxes tension and tells your body it's safe to move.
00:42Let's ease the neck.
00:43Gently tilt your head side to side.
00:46Keep shoulders relaxed.
00:48This helps reduce morning headaches and tension.
00:51Roll your shoulders back in slow circles.
00:54This improves blood flow and melts away that stuck feeling in the upper back.
00:58Place your hands on your knees.
01:01Slowly round your back.
01:03Then gently lift your chest.
01:05This wakes up your spine without strain.
01:08Raise your right arm and lean slightly to the left.
01:12Feel length along your waist.
01:14Not pain.
01:15Just space.
01:16Switch sides.
01:18Hips are the foundation of your mobility.
01:20Lift one knee toward your chest.
01:23Hug gently.
01:24Breathe.
01:25Then switch.
01:27Extend one leg forward and flex your ankle.
01:30This wakes up knees and increases circulation.
01:33Perfect before standing.
01:35Circle your ankles.
01:36Strong ankles reduce fall risk and help you walk with confidence.
01:41When you're ready, stand up slowly.
01:44Place hands on a stable surface.
01:46Stretch your arms overhead.
01:48Reach up.
