Ferdinand Peelen

Grab your yoga block and place the ball of your foot at the edge of the block.

Slightly bend at the knees and feel that calf stretch! Hold for 10 seconds. 

Then straighten leg but keep your foot on the block. Bend forward with a straight back. Hold for 10 seconds. 

Repeat 5 times on each leg.

Calf to hamstring stretch

If you can not get all the way down, just sink down to where you can go. Holding a deep squat is a longevity tool. 

Keep your back as straight up as you can during the squat!

Deep Squat Stretch

If your knee is uncomfortable from kneeling, add a pillow or towel underneath of it for support.

With one knee up and the other down, tilt your pelvis forward and lunge down slightly.

Then take your arm on the same side as the leg being stretched and reach to the opposite side.

Hold position for 10-15 seconds. 5 sets on each leg.

Deep hip flexor stretch

Hold on to something like a wall for support if needed. Gently add pressure to the ball with your body weight. 

Flex your toes with the tennis ball in your arch for a plantar stretch.

Trigger Point For Your Feet

Finding the TFL can be difficult. This muscle is located at the top of your quads, then to the outside. 

This is a hip flexor muscle! If you sit for most of your day this muscle can cause discomfort, or feel “pinched” throughout the day. 

Gently add weight to this muscle by keeping your opposite leg up for support.

That frog pose was hard this old body doesn't have that flexibility but I tried 😅

When I do these exercises I feel great if I miss a day or 2 I feel it.
Thanks for the workouts they really do help
