This area is often overlooked by men. It is extremely important to stretch as it opens up the worked out muscles, preventing stiff joints and soreness.
Following are few stretching techniques to open up your muscles.
Toe Touch
Stand and slowly bend forwards from the hip reaching down for your toes. Hold on to your legs without bouncing.
The stretch should be held for 20 seconds.
Chest, Biceps and Shoulder Stretch
Stand and link your fingers behind your hips. Raise the arms as high as possible pushing the chest out to the front.
Hold for 20 seconds.
Back Stretch
Link your fingers to the front. Now push the hands forward and round your back towards the back wall. Feel the stretch all over the back.
Quadriceps stretch
Bend your right knee and pull the heel into the hip with your hands. Repeat with other leg. You will feel a stretch in the front of your thighs.
Abs Stretch
Lie on your tummy. Prop yourself up on your elbows. Push the elbows into the floor and backwards while pulling your torso forwards and upwards. Feel a stretch in the tummy.
Relax with your face turned over to one side for 2-3 minutes relaxing your breathing.
Follow the above stretches after your daily workout and relax your muscles, so that next day you can again charge them up with out any strains.
