Stretching, stretching and more stretching...

Stay loose to stay lovely says the muscles

When one is in the search for the fountain of youth the last thing we need is the creeping in of that morning stiffness, that so mysteriously targets the lower back, neck and shoulders.

I don't know about you but I certainly do not remember waking up in my teens any other way than at a full spring, bounding out to meet all that the day could throw at me. Now it feels like the spring has sprung! This apparently is a very common sign of our internal cellular aging but one that can be addressed very easily.


It is extremely difficult to deny the onset of the aging process if you are not prepared to get off you "hiny" and do something about it. Make no mistake if you sit for long hours at work in front of that time vampire otherwise known as  the computer, in the car behind the steering wheel or at home like a couch potato blankly staring at the "idiot-box" then sure as eggs your body will stiffen up and each muscle fibre will hint at you as to what is to come.

The muscles around the hips, knees and shoulders will shrink to their new lazy/idle length. This produces the pulling at the lower back, reduced range of movement in any number of areas but commonly in your neck, ribcage and shoulders and stiffness with the potential addition of pain each time you leave yourself in one position for to long.

Check out my video for some awesome tips how to stretch out for strength, stability and suppleness of that all important "core" muscle group.

When those muscles return to normal pre-ancient length, so too will that spring in your step, that bounce in your body, the vim, vigour and youthful vitality you felt from days when you really were the age you're now trying to convince your friends and peers.
