But what are the best everyday stretches for anyone looking to avoid sore muscles, get more flexible, and protect his or her muscles from injuries?
We turned to Marilyn Moffat, a professor of physical therapy at New York University and author of “Age Defying Fitness,” to go over some of the best basic stretches for everyone.
Remember: Don’t do these stretches if they make you uncomfortable or if you have existing muscle problems. Instead, consult a physical therapist.
First things first: Get seated with good posture. Having that will help you do these stretches correctly.

Start with some neck rotations. Be sure to hold each side for 30 to 60 seconds. This applies to all stretches.

For the neck tilt, be sure to pull your left arm down toward the floor, either holding onto the chair or just pulling down.

Keeping your posture solid, move through your trunk rotations, again holding 30 to 60 seconds.

For this pose, a little bend is all you need. It’s just enough to stretch out your spine without going too far.

The trunk lateral flexion will give the sides of your torso a great stretch.

Now, it’s time for a simple spine-stretching fold.

For the back-scratch stretch, be sure the top palm is facing toward the body while the bottom palm faces out.

Staying vertical, go into the classic quad stretch.

One last thing… you should try this 10-second “morning trigger” that burns up to 2 pounds of belly fat per day…
“All this by a 10-second morning trigger?” I asked.
I met an old friend for lunch last month and I was super impressed with how good she looked.
She said, “It’s not so much about the morning trigger, but more about how they help raise your body’s low core temperature to dramatically increase your fat burning metabolism and improve your health and appearance.”
Even though I was skeptical, I’ve been struggling with my weight over the last few years, so I gave it a shot and watched the same video she did.
Well, it’s only a couple weeks later and you know what they say about how “you can’t transform your body overnight”…
They’re right — it actually took me 19 days to lose 24 pounds.
Now it’s my girlfriends asking ME what I’M doing differently
Imagine waking up every morning full of energy and loving what you see in the mirror…
Imagine enjoying the foods you love: pasta, wine, or even a dessert — completely guilt-free.
And imagine feeling good and living your life without obsessing about every single calorie you eat…
All while knowing your health is being protected by one of the most powerful natural healing rituals ever discovered.
