We don’t just want to lengthen our muscles, we want to strengthen them, too. You can do both with this five-move personal-trainer-approved (that’s me) routine using just an exercise mat and some optional props.
The idea is to build flexibility in the muscles across your whole body while increasing your range of motion using dynamic movements — ones that move your joints rather than just holding a stretch for minutes at a time. This routine touches on both, so that you can strengthen your joints and muscles, move with rhythm, stretch, flow and leave your body feeling taller, longer and stronger.
