Day 7: Rest, Recovery & Mindfulness

Congratulations—you've completed an entire week of consistent home workouts! Today is all about recovery and mindfulness. Rest and reflection are just as important as exercise, helping your body repair, recharge, and grow stronger. Grab your mat, find a quiet space, and enjoy this peaceful session.

Session Overview

Today's routine involves gentle stretching and mindfulness practices. Each stretch should be gentle, calming, and comfortable—hold positions for at least 45–60 seconds. Focus on your breath, calming your mind as you move.

Gentle Stretching & Relaxation

Neck & Shoulder Release
Sit comfortably, slowly tilt your head side to side, and gently roll your shoulders backward and forward to relieve tension.
Seated Spinal Twist
Sit cross-legged, gently twist your torso to one side, placing one hand behind you for support and the other on your knee. Hold, breathe, and switch sides.
Butterfly Stretch
Sit upright, bringing the soles of your feet together. Gently press knees toward the floor, opening hips comfortably.
Gentle Hamstring Stretch
Lie on your back, lift one leg gently upward, and hold behind your thigh or calf to comfortably stretch your hamstrings. Switch legs after holding.
Full-Body Stretch
Lie flat on your back and extend your arms and legs fully, stretching from fingertips to toes. Breathe deeply and relax.

Mindfulness & Breathing Practice

After stretching, spend 5–10 minutes in mindful breathing or meditation. Sit or lie down comfortably, close your eyes, and focus gently on each inhale and exhale. Let your mind relax, allowing any tension or stress to melt away.

Reflection Time

Take a moment to reflect on your achievements this week. Acknowledge your efforts, celebrate your consistency, and set positive intentions for the upcoming week.
