When I ask my fighters if they warm up their bodies at home before starting their day, I get a variety of answers ranging from, “I do yoga every morning,” to “I stretch a little before I get out of bed,” to “I don’t have time.”
Everyone with Parkinson’s will tell you how stiff and slow-moving they are in the morning. Why not take a few minutes to “lube“ up those joints and muscles to help you get a better workout, or just make your day more enjoyable?
This is a great exercise that hits many muscle groups by using your limbs to gently rock your legs, hips, and back into a better range of motion. Because it’s an active stretch, you can modify it to your own stiffness and increase the range as your muscles loosen up.
Check out this video to learn how to do the Sacral Rock-Back to help you loosen up your muscles and joints before starting your day:
** You must be able to get on the ground for this one.
Do this stretch throughout the day and before bedtime to help with stiffness and cramping.
