Tip number four
Stretch for 10 minutes
Whether this is a yoga class, pilates class or just a general stretch before or after exercise. it will aid oxygen distribution around the body and get those endorphins flowing.
Simple version – stand against a wall with your legs straight, glutes touching the wall and your feet shoulder width apart, about an inch from the wall. Bend forwards at the hip and just let your arms hang without bending your legs for 1 minute. Do this every day and watch how much more flexible you get.
Ninja version – do a one minute headstand every morning and watch the benefits on your circulation and alignment (only do headstands daily if you are proficient)
