I thought this video is interesting, we don’t even think about what is going on inside our body.  We sleep, wake up and go to work, maybe exercise that day, then come home and sit on the couch; a typical day in an American’s life.  But what is happening to our body. Build up!  The ‘fuzz’ as he calls it is building up thicker and thicker each day!!!  No wonder why we can’t move by the age of 50!

Let’s pay attention to what our body is telling us.  Do you have aches, pains, and stiffness, why don’t you take a few minutes a day to stretch and open up the body.  Take your cat or dog for instance, what is the first thing they do when they wake up?  That’s right, STRETCH!  Doesn’t it feel so good when you wake up and stretch?  I’d say a big Yes to that one.  If you take five or ten minutes a day to stretch out you will notice a difference.  Breathing becomes easier, you may find you are walking taller, and overall feeling better.

Since spring has sprung, I personally have been stretching my body more.  I take the time after my outdoor walks/bike rides to specifically stretch out my hamstrings.  What a difference it has made with increasing my flexibility.  It’s so exciting to see the progress I have made!
