DAY 3 • FLEX AFTER FIFTY STARTER PLAN

Gentle
Mobility

An easy recovery-focused session for shoulders, trunk, calves and the backs of the legs. Move only through a comfortable range—stretching should never feel sharp or painful.

12 minutes4 movements
Before you begin

Use a sturdy chair or counter as needed. Move slowly, breathe normally and avoid bouncing. A mild stretch is enough.

1
MOBILITY & RECOVERY

Shoulder Rolls

6 slow circles each way

How to do it

Sit or stand tall. Gently roll your shoulders up, back and down in a smooth circle. Keep your jaw relaxed.

Gentler option
Make smaller circles and keep your arms resting comfortably.
2
MOBILITY & RECOVERY

Seated Trunk Turn

4–6 each side

How to do it

Sit tall near the front of a sturdy chair with feet flat. Turn your chest gently to one side, return to center, then repeat on the other side.

Gentler option
Keep the turn small and comfortable; do not force the range.
3
MOBILITY & RECOVERY

Supported Calf Stretch

15–20 seconds each side

How to do it

Stand facing a wall or sturdy chair. Step one foot back, keep that heel down, and gently bend the front knee until you feel a mild calf stretch.

Gentler option
Bring the back foot closer and shorten the stretch.
4
MOBILITY & RECOVERY

Seated Hamstring Reach

15–20 seconds each side

How to do it

Sit near the front of a sturdy chair. Extend one leg with the heel on the floor. Keep your back long and hinge forward slightly from the hips.

Gentler option
Keep the knee slightly bent and use a smaller forward lean.
SESSION COMPLETE

Comfortable movement counts.

Take a few relaxed breaths and notice how your body feels. Mobility improves through regular, gentle practice rather than forcing a deeper stretch.
