[@jacki3680]

Perfect for this morning, I’m stiff after yesterdays workout, and I only had about 15 minutes because I have a busy busy day. I was able to do this in my tiny sunroom while everyone else is asleep, and not get up too much earlier than normal. Thanks and great timing!

[@deeray6479]

Aaaah.... Just lovely 👌

[@FitnesswithPJ]

🤩

[@debbieb.45]

Should I warm up with some sort of activity before doing these stretches? I know you talked about active vs. static stretches and we should be warmed up for static stretches.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great question Debbie! 🙌 Please head here to ask your question: pjwren.typeform.com/to/uCxk9B7X - and then stay tuned for my video series, Ask PJ Anything, posted the last Wednesday of every month on KZbin.

[@klaurvick4501]

I'm a day behind everyone so did a Google search on warming up. I can't post the link but it said to rotate each joint from fingers to toes then 5 min activity to increase body temperature

[@christine1962ful]

I do yin yoga and it is done on a cold body because it focuses on stretching ligaments, tendons and the fascia that is attached to muscles. There is no stretching of the muscles, in fact they are completely relaxed and gravity does the work to increase flexibility. I do them after when I'm not working out, or if my workout is going to be hours away. I also do them after a workout as it poses no danger either. Hope that helps.

[@RedBusEnglishSchool]

Awesome

[@FitnesswithPJ]

🙏

[@independane]

MUCH NEEDED after yesterday. I am noodly.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

We love noodly!! 💪

[@brooksday8407]

[@klaurvick4501]

Round 3 but I forgot to warm up first.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

No worries - you'll be warming up for tomorrow! 😃

[@mandylloyd6750]

That was delicious!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So good! 😊

[@karin7765]

Great stretches, however 😂😂 Somehow I often find the "how to" hard and having a hard time figuring out how to execute them .🤭

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thank you for this feedback Moira 😃 It could be worthwhile going back and looking over the ones you had a hard time with to consolidate them?

[@SherriLangaas]

I called you mean the same time you called you mean!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Are friends again though? Now that the workout is completed and I am now longer being mean. 😘😂
