Those first few steps out of bed shouldn’t define how you feel about your body.
If you wake up stiff after 50, it’s easy to think, “I’m just getting older.” But that doesn’t tell you what your muscles and joints need.
In this video, I demonstrate two ways to begin your morning with gentle, active resistance. You’ll use your hands to resist your muscles’ effort, working slowly within a comfortable range.
The goal isn’t to pull yourself farther into a stretch. It’s to engage your muscles and explore the range you can control.
Before getting up, take a couple of minutes to check in with your body. Start small, breathe, and let comfort guide your effort.
💾 Save this for your next stiff morning.
