Your outcome
A usable movement routine you can repeat comfortably.
Is this a fit?
Choose this if the instructions and movements fit your current abilities. Repeating or choosing a lower level is always an option.
Before you begin
Slow your walk first, then choose a stable wall. Stretching is optional and is not a guarantee against soreness or injury.
Follow the guide
- 01
Calf stretch
20–30 seconds each side
Hands on a wall, one foot behind you and heel grounded. Bend the front knee slightly until you feel mild tension in the back calf.
- 02
Gentle chest opening
20 seconds
Stand comfortably and move your arms slightly behind your sides with palms forward. Keep ribs relaxed; do not force your shoulders backward.
- 03
Supported side reach
20 seconds each side
Keep one hand on the wall. Reach the other arm up and lean away slightly, staying within a comfortable range.
- 04
Easy finish
1 minute
Walk slowly and breathe normally before sitting down.
Make it work for you
Skip the overhead reach if uncomfortable. Do not use stretches to push through pain that began during your walk.
