5-minute morning stretch for men 50+

A short example of a daily morning ritual that helps to gently "wake up" the body, relieve stiffness, and set the mood for an active day. All movements are performed calmly, without sudden efforts.

Pull-ups

Smooth stretching of the arms and torso awakens the body and gives lightness.

Shoulder Rolls

Gentle rotations relieve tension in the upper body and improve the feeling of mobility.

Head tilts

Slow tilts in different directions help relax the neck and reduce morning stiffness.

Body twists

Small twists activate the back and waist, preparing the body for everyday movements.

Forward Bend

A gentle bend helps to “wake up” the back of the body and restore a sense of flexibility.

Calm breathing

A few deep, even breaths and exhales complete the stretch and set a steady rhythm for the day.
