❑ When you stretch, do so from a point which is less bothersome, and hold on to this stance for some time. Stretch can be repeated many times. Thereafter you can resume your normal breathing. Stretch for about 20 seconds and then repeat it.
❑ Let your second round of stretch be a few notches longer than your first round. Should you persist with it for a reasonable time you will feel your body grow supple and strong. (You can stretch your legs, in turns, put pulling at them from a loop of wardrobe).
❑ Sit on a level ground and push your feet forward. Keep your feet in straight line and try touching your toes with hands.
❑ If you touch your toes without bending your legs, all is well. But if you can’t do it implies you are lacking in flexibility. So, try regularly and you will finally succeed in reaching out to your toes.
❑ After this lie down with your belly touching to ground, and bend one leg at knee to draw it closer to chest. Keep other leg stretched on ground. After this, the stretched out leg should be bent and brought closer to chest, and the other one should be spread out on ground.
