    How many of you do morning stretching?

    I just started to do a short stretching session in the morning. I also do an easy belt squat routine between stretching moves…or you could say that I stretch between sets.

    Do you stretch in the morning? I work my hip mobility. What is your focus?

    I don't stretch in the mornings and I work a desk job, but I do tend to do some stretching throughout the day. I tend to focus on my hips and neck/shoulders.

    Honestly no, for mornings I just like to get up and do some kind of video workout i.e. Beachbody (yeah I know) I don't always follow their combinations, I like to use it as a cadence and throw my own combos or something to get the blood flowing. My youngest son is on the spectrum and has ADD, we have found that morning workouts burn off energy to help him focus during his home school lessons and things have been going great.

    IMO morning warmups are ideal for training. Save the stretches for winding down for recovery. Stretching may lead your body to relax; so not exactly what you want if you have a conditioning session or sparring. Hope this helps

    I think dynamic stretching is good before workout and static or pnf are good after workout. Morning sessions needs to be easier than afternoon. Just getting your body ready.

    I should do this more to achieve my goal of hitting a full split.
