@coconut23 Awesome! One q, since I’m 6’4” I can’t do a hang in my home without either bending my knees or putting my feet in front of my body which engages my core, which should I do for the hanging?
@coconut23 I've been doing this every day since it was posted and I definitely feel better for it. I've changed the order of the moves slightly to make it faster:
Neck circle
Arm circle forward / backward
Wrist circle
Foot circle
Standing hip circle
Spine circumduction
Standing spine rotation
Standing neck extension
Air cuban rotation
Seal stretch
Passive hang, I have nothing to hang from so have been doing seated staff pose
@coconut23 When I researched thus topic for myself and also asked a physiotherapist two exercises specifically targeting rounded shoulders came up: wall stretch for the pecs and this for the spine: https://goo.gl/images/zQCwmU
@coconut23 Might be useful to add external links to pictures/videos (like the seal stretch) showing how to actually do the move. I mean, you include the name and purpose but no description on what to do with the move.
@coconut23 Great job! I'd recommend adding the classic hip flexor stretch. I know they are stretched a bit already in this routine, but it's one of the main muscle groups that are shortened while sitting, regardless of good chair posture, due to the 90 degree angle of the hips. I try to do them as often as possible.
Thanks for this routine! I learned a couple new moves to try.
@coconut23 I’m late to the party, but super useful! Really easy to incorporate these with other stretches at the end of a workout, and the visuals were nice and direct. Thanks!
@lotus1991 Many martial arts warm up routines are basically the same as this (plus some specific joint exercises). Universally good excercides in other words.
