Stretching

Somewhere I read that you should stretch like a cat before you get out of bed. Usually I am jumping out to tend to the children. However, now I am waking up earlier to work out and have a chance to stretch. It is a site to see! But I can tell the difference from just a few days. I am no longer really stiff in the morning and it seems to wake up my body nicely.
