Gear for mobility and stretching

You can do every routine with no equipment. These items are optional.

Exercise mat

Cushions knees and hips on hard floors. Look for a non-slip surface that is thick enough for floor work.

Massage stick or foam roller

Some people use them before or after a routine to work on tight muscles. Go gently and avoid joints and sore spots.

Resistance band

A light band adds gentle load to some mobility moves. Start with the lightest one.

Yoga blocks

Bring the floor closer in deep stretches so you can hold a position without strain.
