Dave A Jan 2021 12:36pm, 2 Jan 2021 22,753 posts	Quote Pin Dave A I can’t find it, but it was 4 years ago. Probably best to ask on the yoga thread. It was simply: feet shoulder with apart ish, knees slightly bent. Lean forward at the waist and reach for your toes. When you get to the furthest point you can, relax and hang there for about 30 seconds. Nice big breathes in and out. After 30 seconds, make your arms into a cradle and gently rock them side to side, with nice big breathes. After 30 seconds hug yourself around the waist, remaining bent over, and gently move your upper body side to side. It works hamstrung, back hips etc very gently. Then repeat and you’ll find an almost instant improvement in flexibility. I would watch a video first, rather than rely on my description.

I find that rolling a tennis ball under each foot for a minute, pressing quite hard on it, has an almost magical loosening effect. Something to do with the lymph fluid, if I recall correctly (happy to be corrected).

martian77 Jan 2021 9:38am, 4 Jan 2021 21 posts	Quote Pin martian77 I've been slacking since Christmas - I did some pushups all but 7 days in 2020, and my shoulder decided it had had enough while I was driving home Christmas Day! I keep telling my wife we should get an automatic. 😂 Easing back into it now though, 21 today.
