Top 5 Stretches YOU Should Do EVERYDAY | Daily Routine

what's up guys it's Michael Fairfield

calisthenics family welcome to a new

video in this video I'm gonna show you

my top 5 stretching and flexibility

exercises that I do on a daily basis and

that you should do as well so let's get

this video started right guys welcome to

the video so I'm gonna show you my top 5

stretching exercises that I do on a

daily basis so at this moment I'm about

to hit a workout you can see the worker

park in the back and before I start my

workout or when I'm starting my day I

always do a few stretching and

flexibility exercises and today I'm

gonna show you those exact exercises so

most of us are sitting all day long

especially if you have an office job but

also for example if your student you're

sitting a lot of time at school or

especially during these times we're

sitting home right now so it's really

good to do some stretching exercises so

that's what I'm gonna show you my top 5

stretching exercises today and it's also

really good to clarify that I personally

was really stiff at the beginning and

those exercises helped me a lot in the

past two years so I'm gonna show you a

few exercises focused for example on

getting more flexible in the shoulders

and in the hamstrings in the quads and

also a little bit of back bending so

let's have a look to all these five

exercises

alright guys so the first stretch is the

downward facing dog

this is a really good shoulder opener

and the good stretch for your hamstrings

and your calves too the goal with this

stretch is to bring your heels to the

ground and I know it's very hard in the

beginning so you can try to bend your

knees at the time alternate between your

legs and find where it's tight for you

and hold this for another 10 seconds or

so so the second stretch our forward

fold this is a really good stretch to

increase your hamstring flexibility

bring your arms as high as possible and

Bend from your lower back with a

straight back and then make little

pulses you're gonna do them so that's 3

4 5 6 7 8 9 10 and now hold for another

15 seconds and you can also try to move

from your left foot towards your right

foot

[Music]

alright so next we're gonna do the same

stretch but now with our feet too close

to arch each other because that will

increase the stretch in the hamstrings

even more bring them arms up as high as

possible try to pull your belly in

because that makes your upper body even

longer and then only full forward with a

straight back now we're gonna create 10

fills again so it's one two three four

five six seven eight nine ten and now

hold for another 15 seconds

[Music]

so next we're gonna do a stretch for our

quads and this one is called the little

Thunderbolt and we're gonna bring our

hands on the floor and really make sure

to bring your hips forward push them

towards the sky and bring your body

backwards to squeeze your gluts and try

to hold this for 10 seconds if you can

you can stay here or if you want to take

it further and you can also bring your

head towards the floor and your hands

behind your head make sure to bring your

hips forward that's really important

with this pose so for the fourth stretch

we're gonna focus on our back bending

flexibility with this back bending board

we have three different options the

first one is the camel pose so we're

gonna bring our hands towards a

waistline and lift our chest up and only

bend your back from the top part of your

upper body to try to hold this for

another 10 seconds and if you can you

can also take this a step further to

wrap your feet but make sure to bring

your chest towards the sky and hold this

for another 10 seconds

[Music]

so if you got more comfortable with the

camel pose then we can try to do that

half bridge also really good for back

bending flexibility so we're gonna break

the sole of her feet on the floor and

bring our hands also on the floor and

then try to bring our hips towards the

sky and bring your shoulders underneath

your chest so you can either stay here

or take it further to try it in full

bridge and we're gonna divide this one

also in two different parts the first

one is the bridge with our hands on the

floor and also are a tad on the floor

you can try to hold this for 10 seconds

to 15 seconds or you can try to do the

full bridge by extending your arms also

10 to 15 seconds make sure to bring your

hips as high as possible

and open from your shoulders so really

press into the ground with straight arms

so those were all my favorite exercises

for back bending flexibility and now

we're gonna move on to the fifth stretch

and this is for shoulder opening and the

first one is the Child's Pose so bring

your arms forward and then bring your

hips towards your ankles and hold this

for 10 to 15 seconds and if you can't do

that you can also try to take it a step

further to bring your hands even more

forward and bring your elbows towards

the floor and if you master that then

you can also try to bring your hands

even more forward by bringing your chest

towards the floor so these exercises are

really really good to open up your

shoulders and also for learning a

handstand for example all right guys so

these were my top 5 stretching and

flexibility exercises that I do on a

daily basis so I did them in the morning

and I also just finished these before my

workout so guys let me know if you're

gonna try these exercises and I promise

you if you're gonna do these on a daily

basis you definitely got to be more

flexible within a few weeks so also let
