When I woke up this morning, I was surprisingly a tight. I was expecting to be a bit more loose. Nothing bad just enough to be a reminder of my commitment to increasing the stretching I'm doing.
Kristen suggested checking into yoga poses for runners. I found a set of 10 yoga poses design for runners. I've always know how much flexibility I lack...realising just how much further I have to go.
The poses:
- The Wall Dog - feels great
- Hamstring Stretch - not sure this actually has a name but the stance and the angles of your feet stretches the hamstring more than any other hamstring stretch I've done
- Wide Leg Standing Forward Bend - really works all over
- Wide Leg Standing Forward Bend with Twist - I'm not actually able to pull this one off
- Lunge - basic lunge frozen in motion
- Front Thigh Stretch - it is in a sitting position, looks simple enough but I'm not really flexible enough to do this properly
- Bound Angle Pose - should just call it sitting indian style...
- Diamond Pose with Toes Tucked Under - ouch
- Diamond Pose with Cow-Face Pose Arms - not happening, my hands didn't even get close - towel needed
- Full Body Relaxation with Conscious Breathing - I'm pretty sure they mean sleeping
