Let me start by saying this – muscle tightness is quite unpleasant. You must have experienced it, right?

It can;

• slow down performance 
• limit movements and sometimes even cause pain.

 I know it because I’ve been there. As our flexibility deteriorates over the years, it is important that we try to slow down that deterioration as much as we can. Injuries that heal over time with scar tissues add to muscle tightness and inflexibility.

An injury in my early 20’s still haunts my right pelvis and groin area. When I don’t move during the day, I feel stiff. If I sit for a long time, the muscles surrounding that area start to cramp. That’s why before I start my practice, I need to give myself a slight stretch to ease things up.

So, if you are like me and need to do a little stretch before your class, then this one is perfect. It’s a standing stretching exercise routine. That’s right, no need to get down on the floor, and you can do it before a Padel or Tennis game. It will limber things up. In this video, I explain why it’s good to start any sport with limbered muscles. 

As a bonus, I have also added the single-leg circle exercise on the back. This exercise is for the days that you do warm up on your back. I hope that you will like it.
