My Nightly "Stretch" Routine | Week 20 | Movement Fix Monday

This week on Movement Fix Monday, I am showing you guys what I do as my nightly "stretch" routine. I put stretch in quotations because I use that term loosely. It isn't just stretching, it's moving, taking joints to end ranges, etc.

A month or so ago, a reader e-mailed me asking what I do at night for my movement. I made a video last year about my morning movement routine, which you can find here.

The things I do in this video are:

Straight leg raise with ankle circles
Cat/camel with thoracic extension bias
Supine shoulder flexion trying to control my ribs

If you've been following my blog for awhile, you will notice there are very common themes in the things that I do. I don't have 500 ways to stretch each area of the body. I think that's unnecessary. How many ways do you need to stretch before you just choose 1 and do it regularly enough that you start to reap the benefits?

How many different exercises do you need to put together a good exercise routine? I think when we consider movement training, we want so much variety rather than just doing the things we need to do.

Enjoy!
