Would you like to be more flexible?

Do you have a regular routine to stay flexible and fit? If so, leave a comment and share what it is!

Along with some stretching videos, I walk nearly every day. I have a couple of three-mile routes around my neighborhood, and (because I'm a photographer and can't help myself) often take photos of fun things in the neighborhood. 

Let me introduce Mike. He's a physiotherapist in Australia specializing in Senior comfort, balance, strength, and flexibility. I do several of his routines daily. It is Very Important that you self-assess to be sure these videos are suitable to your level of ability. 

Important disclaimer: These are for informational purposes only, and are not intended to diagnose or treat any physical disabilities or ailments you may have. Please check with your medical professional before starting any exercise routine.

It is Very Important to go at your own pace, and don't do anything that hurts! If you go slower, or if you can't stretch out as far as he does, that is okay. Adapt or skip the ones that are too difficult. Don't push it. 

If you continue doing stretches daily, you will find yourself becoming more flexible over time.

I've chosen a couple of gentle stretching routines from his video collection. You can find exercises for specific areas on his channel.

This 11 minute video (one minute of introduction!) is a series of simple, whole-body, strengthening movements. 

He does chair push ups in this one. I, personally, find it easier to do wall pushups. It's ok to adapt!
