Unless you are a morning person who wakes up all cheery and happy, you would be stretching your body in the bed trying to wake up. Yawning is also body's natural tendency to stretch the facial muscles. Research shows that heart attacks are most common at this time of the day as the body really works hard to come out of the long overnight lull. We all have done unstructured and unplanned morning stretches. A little extra effort to understand what our body needs when we are trying to wake will go far.
Stretching helps improve blood flow through the muscles, which will keep you energized for the rest of the day. Its not required to be aggressive when doing morning stretches; its not your workout session. Breathing right is important, so just remember to breathe deep during stretching.
Back Stretch : Knees To Chest
This is great stretch to relax the lower back, as the motion pushes the discs in opposite direction increasing the blood flow. But consult a physician, if you have any disc problems.
Neck Stretches
Bad sleep posture, bad pillow or bad mattress can be reasons for neck stiffness. Simple neck stretches will provide relief in the morning and help you start your day.
Heart Opening Stretch
Fish pose is another simple stretch to open heart, open lungs to make respiration easy. This is absolutely great when trying to wake up.
Runner's Lunge Against A Wall
This is my fav morning stretch. It relaxes the build up tension in the calves and foot by increasing the blood flow. Hold the stretch for 40 sec on each leg.
