After a night of lying prone, what it really needs is a good wriggle to loosen stiff muscles and joints. Even if your only plan is to sit at your desk-slash-kitchen table for the rest of the day, working through the full range of motion first thing in the morning will help reduce tightness and pain.  In this speedy Strong Women Training Club mobility stretch routine, trainer Emma Obayuvana lubricates the spine with simple roll-downs before moving into variations of the world's greatest stretch – the best for opening up tight areas like the hamstrings, hip flexors and shoulders. Move into cobra to release your back, stretch out the chest and activate your glutes for the day ahead, then you're free to pop the espresso machine on. Not a Training Club member yet?
