Let's Have a Self-Care "Stretch Out"

---

Self care doesn't always have to be stressful

Let’s be honest: The Cardio HIIT workout can’t always make it onto our checklists.

Kia FEELS: Moving more isn’t only limited to intense exercise. Stretching and flexing our muscles offer many health benefits and doesn’t have to suck the life or time out of us.

Though, if you possess grandma knees like Kia, do not underestimate the challenge of a good stretch.

Make sure to consult with your primary care physician before partaking in any physical activity. Overtime, I’ve found developing a slow and steady breathing technique will enhance all stretches. Most importantly: LISTEN to your body! Remember, throughout the stages of stretching, how one starts isn’t usually how one finishes. Commit to practicing gentleness and consistency. Watch how your body will begin to bend to the beat of the drum you’ve created over time.
