Move of the week: why you should do cat/cow as part of your morning stretch routine
By Chloe Gray

Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: cat/cow.
Moving our muscles and joints for the first time after eight-ish hours lying in bed can be a real shock. No matter how flexible or mobile you are, most of us wake up feeling achey and stiff. Taking some time to create space in your joints and stretch out muscles is important to get rid of discomfort before the day.
That’s where cat/cow comes in. A full-body stretch that targets commonly tight parts of the body, like the shoulders, hips and spine.
