5 Minute Morning Stretch & Mobility Routine. Iron Out The Kinks & Feel Amazing!

This 5 minute morning workout has specific exercises to loosen morning stiffness and soreness. Morning stretches and mobilisation exercises clear the head and get the blood flowing through your muscles and brain. Whether you get a sore back, neck or shoulders in the morning, have trouble waking up, or just want to supercharge your day, a full body morning stretch routine will get you going.

--------------------------
WIDE LEGGED THORACIC ROTATION
Mobilises the shoulders & rib cage that can become compressed overnight in side-sleepers.

WIDE LEGGED SIDE BENDS
Mobilises the spinal joints… and the rib cage to increase lung function. This is wonderful as a morning neck pain stretch.

COBRA TO CHILD’S POSE
Mobilises the lower back, which stiffens up in many people overnight. This is a great morning back pain stretch relief exercise.

PUSH UP TO PUPPY POSE
Strengthens shoulders, especially if done slowly. Straightens a rounded mid back.

TABLETOP CHIN RETRACTIONS
Mobilises the base of the neck to improve posture & neck health.

BIRD DOG
Strengthen the Multifidus muscle in the lower back which controls the movement of the spinal joints.

DEEP SQUATS
Draws fluid into the spinal discs which become dehydrated overnight. And it opens-up the lowest lumbar joint which gets compressed when lying face up.

SINGLE LEG RDL
Balance exercise to co-ordinate & strengthen key chains of muscles around the feet, knees, and pelvis.

I'm a 63 yr old side sleeper, thank you, it's just what I needed.

Hi, I've been doing this morning routine for quite a few weeks now & it's given me heaps more flexibility & freedom in my entire body. My mind is clearer & I am becoming more pain free (congenial form of arthritis). Thanks so much. ❤ I also have a cat who enjoys helping me with the routine by sitting on my back when I'm on all fours & nestling in my lap whilst deep breathing. A wonderful exercise buddy 🐱

Sebas (my cat) is a tiny bit demanding when it comes to his breakfast. 😉😂😻

[LillianKüstenfeuer]

😻Exercises taught by a chiropractor with the British accent and professionalism I like and with a cat supervising? Yes please, lol. Now I just need to fall in love with daily exercise just like I love cats/animals ❤

I'm 'only' 32 and I'm slowly realizing my motor skills are declining due to poor health habits, working a desk job, no physical activities etc. It's 7 am and I woke up in pain and now it's time to do something about it. I was able to relieve some pain thanks to this! Seeing your Siamese stand by your side reminded me of my own Siamese, Harry, who sadly left us already but it felt like he was with me for a brief moment. Cheers.

Ok, this'll become my morning routine!
How about one for after a long work day at the office (desk/computer work)? 😀

[ActivelyWaiting]

Wonderful stretch routine! I really appreciate the extra tips on the screen while you're doing the stretches. Love that you end it with a gratitude list.

And your cat is gorgeous 😃

First day today…I thank the Lord Jesus Christ that I found this! Just what I needed!! Thank you so much for sharing this ❤✌️

[BNris]

The muscles at the back of my neck and top of my shoulders have always been tense, but lately they've been giving me tension headaches. Adding this stretching video to my morning routine has greatly reduced that, and I'm so glad you're sharing your expertise! Thanks bunches!!

[teslanikole]

[myk]

Hi, I'm a first timer . Thank you for getting my day started right. Cheers

[dalelin]

I always love how clear your instructions and demonstration is. This video has become my daily routine now to start my day. Thank you, Stefan.

[sarahwalker]

Thank you so much for putting this together! I've been looking for a quick morning mobility routine and I did this this morning and it's fantastic. I wish I had more time to dedicate to a morning routine but I don't.
Really love this layout too, you've added the timer, & you're doing it too in case I forget what the exercise looks like, it works really well! 😊

[amberchaba]

Simple, easy and fast yet something I can do every morning and will have time for! Thank you so much. My body feels so much better

[dvid.]

This is the best video I’ve came across in a while, usually i stretch then meditate but this was like a 2 in one, not to mention i felt calm and relaxed throughout, this guy is extremely underrated. Thanks for this

[dyenibib]

This is a set that I can start my day on. I see my dog taking part, too. Thanks for this 🙂

[tanialaino]

Thanks for these exercises. Easy to follow and just right for me to start . At 76 I will be able to do all of them, but the deep squat might be a challenge! I will try with the heel support. Your channel is really helpful and I will pass the link onto fellow oldies.

[kristitahada]

This was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for such clear, straight to the point instructions!

[belladreamshade]

wow this actually worked to rid me of my back pain and morning dinosaur feeling! thank you so much!

[RV]

I love this. I do wish a cat came with my morning stretches but I'm greatful for yours.
