Relaxing stretches for better sleep & increased flexibility (you can do in bed!) – blogilates

by YouTube Team

We all know that getting exercise and feeding your body right is important when it comes to getting fit and healthy. But a lot of times, we THINK we are doing everything we are supposed to do but actually, we are not. There is one more thing we need to concentrate on – SLEEP.

If you don’t sleep enough, you put your body under stress. If you are stressed, you can’t get the results you want. Stress makes it hard to gain muscle and lose fat. Stress makes it DIFFICULT to lose weight when your body is not well rested!

SO! Today, I am showing you a full bed time stretching routine that will relax you and get you ready to fall asleep. Do this with me at night and you will have a deeper, more relaxing sleep that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and recharged when you wake up! These stretches will also help you increase flexibility.

I’ve done this video before but always on the mat, and let me tell you doing it in bed is a GAME CHANGER. Uhh, I feel SO relaxed. Between the soft pillows/mattress, Cassey’s voice, and stretching my limbs, I found myself on the verge of falling right asleep 💤 ☁️

Why is no one talking about how good this routine and the video itself is? It felt like I’ve had super chill time with my old friend. At the beginning I was like “oh no, 15 minutes? too long”, but by the ending of it I was like “and that’s it? I need more!”
Absolutely loved it. Thank you so much for this amazing experience.

Is there a similar idea that involves total body? I feel like adding upper body, back and neck would be helpful

I like firm beds and I will never tell my ballet teacher I did this routine because you never want to open your chest up in ballet despite what everyone thinks you want to close that ribcage and tuck your pelvis in until it's almost under you
