Recommendations for beginners

It is recommended to set aside at least 10 minutes daily in the morning to stretch the whole body. Indeed, it is in the morning hours that the body is full of strength and energy that needs to be awakened. It is important to start stretching exercises in the morning from the top of the body: head, neck, shoulders, arms, smoothly moving to the legs and ending with a complex exercise with the muscles of the whole body.
