What's a good stretching routine to do every morning before work?

A solid 10 - 15 minute routine that hits all the major muscle groups works best, and you want to mix static stretches (hold for 20 - 30 seconds) with some gentle dynamic movement to get blood flowing. Start with arm circles and leg swings to warm up, then move into your main stretches: touch your toes or fold forward for hamstrings, do a quad stretch by pulling one foot toward your glutes, hit your shoulders with a cross-body arm pull, and twist your torso side to side. Finish with a forward fold or child's pose to calm things down.

The key is being consistent - same time every morning makes it stick way better than random stretching. Your body will feel looser and you'll have better mobility throughout the day. If you sit at a desk, definitely spend extra time on hip flexors and lower back since those get tight fast 😅 and tighter muscles = bad posture and aches later. You don't need to be super intense about it either; controlled breathing and relaxing into each stretch matters more than trying to touch your toes perfectly.
