Action Step: Hamstring Stretching

We are aging intelligently, one step at a time,  moving all the while.

Before you eat,

stand, bend your knees slightly, fold your arms.

Bend forward, head nearing knees. Feel your hamstrings stretching. Leaving your feet parallel, count to 10, slowly. 

If it’s a BIG stretch, you can bend and straighten your legs. Otherwise, just hang.

Turn your feet in, pigeon-toed, still bent over. Count to 10.

Turn your feet out, like a duck, still bent over. Count to 10.

Only then, eat.

This adds a habit you already do (eating) to a habit that you want to form (gentle stretching).

That’s Aging Intelligently
