Simple Sitting Stretches For Beginners

Hello, it’s Drei Carnes from BodyFly Fitness and today I’m going to walk you through how to do simple sitting stretches for beginners. We’re going to be on the floor for these sitting stretches so grab a yoga mat, blanket or something comfortable to sit on.

Okay, let’s get started, I have a yoga mat here. Your sitting on your mat, legs straight out in front of you and let’s do some toe touches. With your back straight and arms out in front of you, slowly lean forward. If you can reach your toes, fantastic, grab them with your fingers and extend even further.

If you can’t reach your toes, no problem, it’s not a big deal, just stretch as far as you can through your fingers. You should start to feel a burn in your hamstrings, glutes and lower back when your arms are fully extended in front of you and you’re reaching towards those toes.

If for any reason you start to feel a little discomfort, stop and take a deep breath and slowly lean into your stretch again and hold for 10-15 seconds. For those that can grab your toes with your fingers clutching them, push your toes forward against your fingers for a little deeper stretch.

This is a great stretch for your hamstrings, glutes and lower back and also helps with your flexibility.

You can stretch at home, at the office, the gym or wherever you “Fly”…remember, self-work increases self-worth, stay hydrated, stay present and always stayfly.
