Gentle Warm-Up Movements

Great for starting the day or unwinding after sitting. Focus on neck, shoulders, hips, and ankles for a full-body reset.

Always move within a comfortable range—never force a stretch or rotation beyond what feels safe.

  • Neck rolls for loosening tension
  • Shoulder circles to wake up upper body

Stop immediately if you experience discomfort, dizziness, or sharp pain. Consult your physician as needed.
