5 morning stretches that you can do in bed

Cat-Cow Stretch: Begin on all fours, arch your back like a cat, and then dip your spine and lift your head for a cow pose. This stretch helps loosen your spine and ease any overnight stiffness.

Knee-to-Chest Stretch: Lie on your back and bring one knee to your chest, holding it with both hands. Switch legs after a few breaths. This stretch relieves lower back tension and gently stretches your hips.

Spinal Twist: Lying on your back, bend your knees and let them fall to one side while keeping your shoulders flat on the bed. Hold for a few breaths and switch sides. This stretch releases tension in your lower back and spine.

Hamstring Stretch: While lying on your back, lift one leg straight up and hold the back of your thigh or calf. Keep the other leg bent or straight on the bed. This stretch targets your hamstrings and improves flexibility.

Full-Body Stretch: Extend your arms overhead and stretch your legs out as far as you can, elongating your entire body. This simple stretch wakes up your muscles and gets your blood flowing for the day ahead.
