5-Minute Morning Stretch

Morning stretches for men 50+ help to gently activate muscles, joints and breathing, creating a calm and collected start to the day.

Gentle awakening of the body

Start with a slow stretching of the whole body. Raise your arms up, stretch on the inhale and relax on the exhale. This helps the body go from a state of rest to movement without sudden loads.

Warming up the shoulders and arms

Make smooth circular movements with your shoulders forward and back, then carefully spread your arms to the sides. This activity improves the mobility of the upper body and relieves morning stiffness.

Back Flexibility Bends

Lean forward with a straight back, allowing your arms to hang freely. The movements should be smooth, without jerks. This promotes a feeling of lightness and freedom of movement.

5

Hamstring Stretch

From a standing or sitting position, gently stretch the back of your legs. Focus on a comfortable range of motion, maintaining a sense of stability and balance.

Calm Breathing for Tuning

Finish the stretch with a few deep breaths and slow exhales. Focus on your breathing, allowing your body and mind to tune in to the day.
