Toomey Everyday Stretches

Her stretches are very focused on ankle mobility and posture. See the video or read below how to do each everyday stretch from the Fittest Woman on Earth.

Tia begins with a traditional ankle and leg stretch. She lunges forward with her knee resting on the yoga mat, shifting the knee forward past the toes, she can also put her body weight on top of the quad that is being stretched for additional pressure. Hold this position for 30-120 seconds on one leg and then shift to the other one.

Following that, again in a lunge position, Tia-Clair Toomey stretches her hip flexor by having the front knee over the ankle and the back knee positioned further back. Let your hip sink to the ground and feel the stretch.

For the upper body, Tia-Clair Toomey everyday stretches focus, firstly, on the front delts and upper chest. Lay prone on the mat with one arm extended and roll your back as though you would fall onto the extended arm.

Lastly, move to a child’s pose to stretch the lats. Lean forward with your arm outstretched to feel the pull in your targeted muscles.
