UN(dis)TALENTED: Opening Your Hip Model Sketch and Fitness Motivation

in #untalented5 years ago (edited)

This model is caught stretching in a way I do in bed at least twice a day. This stretch really helps me do better and is part of a larger routine I do in bed.

Here’s how you can do this stretch too. If you do it at night, your body will be more relaxed. In the morning you will work out the kinks of sleep and be more flexible for the day to come.

Directions for this Opening Your Hip Bed Stretch

  • Make your bed, or clear it off of obstructions.
  • Decide if you need pillows for your head or for your legs and get them or move them if not needed.
  • Lie down comfortably in your bed.
  • Slide one foot up the opposite leg to a point of a comfortable stretch.
  • See where your knee is and move it up and down slowly and comfortably.
  • Rest your knee in a stretch – but not too far.
  • Lift your knee and cross it over your body (Not pictured)
  • Feel the stretch in your back. don’t push too far.
  • Return your knee to the pictured position.
  • Slide your foot back down to the other foot and shake it out.

Keep going

  • You can repeat a few times with the same leg or alternate your legs.
  • Aim for 5 repeats on each leg.
  • You can vary the distance you extend your leg up and down the other leg.
  • You can vary how low you sink your knee down.
  • You can vary how far you drop your knee over the other leg and how much you twist your spine.

How to fit stretching in bed into your life.

  • Each night before you go to sleep – stretch and relax for 5-10 minutes
  • Each morning before you start your day – stretch out the kinks for 5-10 minutes

How hard is that? Do you think you can do it?

My text is inspired by the sketch done by my son @bxlphabet. I am finding so many fitness moves in these dancers who posed for his art class. We may not all be able to dance like the pros, but we can all treat our bodies to some exercise!

And please come to my blog as well @fitinfun. I am re-vamping my weight loss coaching to be more effective and you can join right in.

I like stretching exercises, but I do them at my gym. May will try in the bed at morning

It's so helpful to get going in the morning. I feel so much better when I do these and regret when I don't.

very good course.

Thank you very much!

My hip hurts when the cold or dreary weather sets in.

Me too! I was always in pain with damp cold weather and that is why I am near the equator now. It' might rain, but at least it is not cold!

It is just one hip?

Coaching healthier living through sketching very good idea, @bxlphabet has a talent in art, good idea to use some form of stretching before getting off the bed @fitinfun

Thank you! I just noticed he had all these moves shown so I do not have to find others. What a gift. Thanks for the compliments, @joanstewart. I'm so glad you like this post and idea :)
