Stretch It Out
When you hold still during a stretch, it's called static stretching -- besides feeling incredible and improving flexibility and range of motion, a move like the forward fold can also help you cope better with stress.
1. Stand with your feet about hip-distance apart, knees slightly bent.
2. Fold forward like a rag doll. Try to be in this position as lazily as possible.
3. Inhale fully through your nose: increase your knee bend slightly to allow for more rib cage expansion.
4. Exhale slowly and fully through your mouth as you try to fold further. You can hug or hold your torso or legs to gently pull yourself in.
5. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds or as long as it feels good.
