Naomi Joy Fitness: 20 Min Full Body Stretch // Relax + Unwind

20 Min Full Body Stretch // Relax + Unwind is a feel good total body stretching routine from Naomi Joy. This morning I warmed up with one of Naomi’s tabata rebounder workouts then finished with this workout. It did a great job stretching me out. The stretches are deep and Naomi walks you through everything, giving really good form pointers so you feel the stretches even more. This was an excellent flexibility routine that I will be using frequently on my recovery days (Sundays).
