    Thank you all for showing how to do the basics. I just came out of being in bed in my house for 3 years due to illness (sudden onset seizures) and Covid 2020/2021. Not everyone has good enough insurance for PT. Thankfully I had to walk my dog every day. I think that may have helped too. Im back up to hiking 3 miles at a time now. I really think your videos have helped. I appreciate it! -Melanie

    Title: Essential Beginner Stretches for Flexibility: Upper and Lower Body Stretches in Less Than 5 Minutes
    Start with four simple beginner stretches for overall body flexibility
    - Maintaining flexibility is essential for feeling good, especially as we age.
    - You can do each stretch for just one minute per day to feel significantly better.
    Stretching using a chair with proper hand positioning
    - Place hands on chair with thumbs towards the sky to stretch through the torso
    - Softening knees and breathing deeply while driving chest towards ground for a good stretch
    Stretch to improve posture and loosen chest and shoulder muscles.
    - To stretch the hamstrings, use your body weight by leaning into the stretch.
    - Use a towel to stretch the hamstrings while lying in bed.
    Ensure hips and shoulder blades are positioned correctly during the stretch.
    - Make sure your hips are touching the ground and your shoulder blades are down and relaxed.
    - Take a big breath in to activate the hamstring and then exhale to stretch a little deeper.
    Stretch every day for better sleep and start your day great.
    - Seated straddle stretch helps loosen tight groin muscles.
    - Use pillows under your butt if needed to straighten your spine in this position.
    Practice stretching throughout the day to loosen up muscles and improve flexibility.
    - Attempt the stretch for at least one minute, gradually increasing duration to 90 seconds or longer to target the groin and hip muscles.
    - Consider incorporating the personalized follow-along workout offered at wesshape.com to best align with your individual fitness goals and capabilities.
    Stretch your shoulders and open up your chest for better posture and flexibility.
    - Sit in a seated position and turn your fingertips backwards behind you, lift your chest towards the sky to feel a stretch in your chest and shoulders.
    - For a more challenging stretch, scoot your body away from your shoulders while keeping them back and down to intensify the stretch.
    Stretching improves posture, loosens chest and shoulders, and makes you feel better.
    - Focus on lifting the chest while breathing deeply.
    - Hold the stretch for 30 seconds to 2 minutes daily to see improvement.

    Whenever I’m at work and I’m going feeling any discomfort in my body, I would walk away for 5 to 10 minutes alone and do your stretch and I don’t need to take that Tylenol ES, 🤩 never know it would work. Mind you, I had to share it with my co-workers. Working in the healthcare industry is doing terrible job on most of our bodies now, but I just wanted to say thank you, thank you and continue to do your best!!
