Stretching enhances joint mobility and the range of motion of your muscle, and so it can have an enormous impact on your results.

And if you are wondering what fascia is, know that fascia is a connective tissue that appears like a spider web structure which helps perform various functions such as holding, stabilising, covering, and supporting several parts of the body. A healthy fascial system has to be flexible and elastic. A tight fascia only leads to dysfunctioning of nerves and the muscles. With some basic compound stretches you can keep the fascias supple and flexible. Broadly, the fascia lines are categorised into five parts– front line fascia, back line fascia, lateral line fascia, spiral line fascia and the arm line fascia. These five fascia stretches are a must perform after a workout.

Front line fascia stretch

  • Lie flat on your back.
  • As you exhale, bend the knees and bring the feet as close to the buttocks as possible. Remember to keep the soles of the feet flat on the floor.
  • Bend the arms at the elbows and place the palms of the hands flat on the floor directly under each shoulder with the fingers pointing toward the back.
  • While inhaling slowly, begin to raise the head, back and buttocks off the floor while arching the spine.
  • Continue to press downward on the hands and feet while raising the hips and stomach as high as possible.
  • Hold for 10-15 seconds.
  • To release the position, lower your body till it touches the ground. Straighten your legs and get your hands back to the original position. These early morning stretching exercises will keep you energised throughout the day.

  • Ensure that your feet are pressing the ground and the weight of your body is equally balanced on both the feet.
  • Inhale deeply and as you exhale, bend your body to the right, downward from the hips. Do this while keeping the waist straight, allowing your left hand to come up in the air while your right hand comes down towards the floor.
  • Keep both arms in a straight line and repeat the same on another side.
  • Hold for 10-15 seconds.
