If you spend most of your day sitting, or you're just getting back into moving your body after a break, stiffness may be one of the first things you notice. Reaching for something on a high shelf takes a little more effort. Getting up from the floor feels slower than it used to. Your hips or shoulders may simply feel tight after hours in the same position.
Stretching exercises for beginners don't need to look like an advanced yoga class or require special equipment. A short routine built around a handful of basic movements is enough to start working on flexibility and make everyday movement feel more comfortable.
