SIMPLE Standing Stretching Routine for Seniors – In Real-time!

This standing routine is performed in real time, so it’s easy to follow along. It’s a great daily routine for seniors or for anyone looking for an easy but effective standing stretching routine.

Start off this standing stretching routine with a warmup including neck circles, standing Ts, modified jumping jacks, and standing march to help get the muscles warm and loose.

The first stretch, a standing sidebend, is great for the neck, arms, upper back, and hips.

Next, a chest stretch is a great way to open up the chest area, and this will also help with shoulders and breathing.

The final stretches might be best done while holding onto a chair, countertop, or using a cane for balance. Side lunge stretch, runner’s stretch, and standing hamstring stretch are all great to loosen up the muscles in the legs.

sharing this some of my family....great stretch for the older population!

Thank you.
The lunge stretch felt good. I'm a Boomer and was prescribed a cane. I was dismayed about it, but I must admit I feel more secure. It was suggested that I get a stretch routine and to go outside and do 20 minute walks everyday. The lunge with the aid of the cane was wonderful.
