If your job is more active, you, too, can benefit from a 10 minute stretching routine three times a day. Again, first thing when you wake up in the morning (alleviating stiffness), middle of the day, and after work to loosen back up the body and its muscles. As a holistic personal trainer, I'm always talking with my clients about the importance and necessity of stretching, and taking them through a proper routine. Don't skip it. In our busy, go, go, go world where we've got packed schedules and lots of responsibilities, taking just 10 minutes here and there throughout the day to come back to yourself and take care of your body can not only help you to feel better while doing all that you are doing, but can help you perform better while doing it.
