Hi there, I just wanted to share the stretching routine that I do every night. My secret: I stretch when the kids are in bed. I put on my jammies (loose clothing), and I have the T.V. on. This is part of my ‘down time‘ routine. I get myself into a relaxed and comfortable spot. Stretching at this time feels so great because I am not rushed to get through it. My only distraction is the T.V…, the perfect distraction at this time!

I hold each stretch for at least 15-30 seconds. Stretching is beneficial to me because it relaxes my body before bed. I try to get out any knots that I may have accumulated throughout the day; which will aid in getting a more sound sleep. Getting a good nights sleep plays an important role in fat loss, which makes this stretching routine even more important to me.

It’s also important to note that when you stretch out your muscles, you are encouraging blood to flow to that area in your body. The increased blood flow will bring nutrients to the muscle, resulting in a quicker recovery from your strenuous workouts.

Have you been incorporating stretching into your day? Is there a time of day that you prefer over another?

I hope that you enjoyed this behind the scenes look at my night time stretching routine. Have an amazing day!
