I can't be arsed to stretch, but keep getting drip fed the message that stretching is very beneficial for us older guys.

If you only did one stretch what would it be?

Six weeks, time served on remand.

Alternatively, as a man who had crippling plantar fascitis for entirely too long, a calf stretch probably has to be the one, just edging out hip flexors.

I would just do a forward fold/touch your toes type of thing to hit the lower back and hamstrings that so often need stretching.

Frog rocks (for opening the hips up).

Or if you have tight quads sit on your calves. Super easy (can read, watch telly etc).

If you’re hunched over your could do t-spine rotations to open your thoracic up. Quick and easy.

Cat-cow.

Basically it depends where your issues are, but those 4 are a good starting point.

Why, the world's greatest stretch, of course. Although it's a bit of a stretch (get it?) to call it one stretch.

I don't stretch but if I did it would probably be the 90/90 or warrior lunge

Interesting.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I might have a dabble (if I can be arsed Grin).
