5 Japanese Bedtime Movements After 60 That Make Mornings Feel Lighter

Описание: If you’ve noticed that simple movements feel harder than they used to… this video is for you.
Tonight, I’m sharing five gentle bedtime movements inspired by Japanese elders who remain flexible, steady, and active well into their 80s and 90s.
No gym.
No equipment.
No complicated routines.
Just 12–15 minutes before sleep.
These simple movements may help support:
• Reduced morning stiffness
• Better joint comfort
• Improved balance
• Easier movement getting in and out of bed
• Smoother turning and reaching
Many people focus only on daytime exercise. But what you do before sleep can quietly influence how your body feels the next morning.
In this video, we go step by step through:
1. Seated Forward Fold for lower back and hamstrings
2. Gentle Spinal Twist for spinal mobility
3. Cat-Cow Flow for fluid movement in the spine
4. Ankle and Hip Circles for balance and joint support
5. Legs Elevated Against the Wall for circulation and nighttime recovery
These movements are calm, slow, and suitable for most adults over 50. Always move within your comfort level, and if you have specific medical concerns, speak with a healthcare professional before beginning any new routine.
Consistency matters more than intensity.
Start tonight. Your body responds to gentle care at any age.
