Probably shouldn’t ask people to stretch outside with the sun directly in their eyes. Gloria Antwi is a certified personal trainer and friend. And lucky for me a professional and good sport. Gloria stretches from the tailbone up as she stretches her hip. If you are slouched over or bending mostly from the mid back you will not get a proper stretch.Never force a stretch. These are static stretches and best to do at the end of a workout after the joints are warmed up. Inhaling stabilizes so hold a stretch 10-30 seconds (I suggest until you feel it won’t release anymore since counting time can cause you to tighten up). If you feel the muscle or muscles (there’s four hamstring muscles) release, exhale to stretch farther. Inhale stabilizes (hold) exhale relaxes (stretch farther).

I was a poet first, but became a fantasy fiction writer in high school after reading The Hobbit, The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe, and The Sword of Shannara. After completing my dual major in Anthropology and History at WLU and reading The Forever War, I Robot, and numerous Star Wars books, I also started writing science fiction.
