Today was, by far, the hardest day yet to get out of bed. Last night was later than I had wanted, I didn’t sleep well, and 4:30 came really early. It didn’t help that I knew the workout was X Stretch. A great workout, but not what one would consider energizing.
I really do like this workout. I used to like it because I was flexible. Now I like it because I’d like to be flexible again. Plus it just feels great to stretch all the muscles. As I was walking to work I was thinking how funny it is to be sore after ‘just stretching’ rather than ‘really working out.’ It’s a workout that is easy to skip. It’s also an alternative to taking a rest day every 7 days. Whenever I do this workout I think ‘I really should do this on my day off’ but then I get a day off and choose to do nothing instead.
One of the things that’s fun is that I always forget how many ways there are to stretch your neck. I used to think neck rolls were it and found them pointless. But the plethora of neck stretches presented here can actually be felt. I like to think they help me lose some of the tension I carry in my neck/shoulder area. Either way they feel fabulous.
