Start on your back with your legs outstretched. Bring both knees up together and place your hands below the knee area on the top of the shin. An alternative place for your hands is the back of the thighs. Slowly bring your knees toward your chest, hold for ten seconds, then go back to starting position.
As shown, start with one foot above the chair, and one below resting on the ground. Raise the straightened leg upward against the bottom of the chair. Hold for ten seconds and then return the leg to the floor.
The My Stretch of Texas Ground
Start by sitting in a chair that is high enough so that the knee can bend to a ninety degree angle. Slowly raise the leg until it is horizontal. Hold for five seconds, and slowly let it return to the ground. Repeat with other leg. Do twenty repetitions, if able.
Start by lying on your back with your left leg bent upward. Keep your right leg completely extended straight out. Slowly raise your right leg to about a forty-five degree angle, keeping the leg locked straight. Hold for five seconds and then slowly lower to the flat, resting position. It is not necessary to take the leg straight up to ninety degrees, as the most difficult range of motion is the first two feet off the ground. Repeat twenty times. Switch to the left leg.
Lie on your back as shown. Raise your left leg and bring it across your body, trying to make it touch the ground by your right hand. Keep both your shoulders flat to the ground. Hold for twenty seconds, then return to starting position and repeat for the other leg. Do ten repetitions with each leg.

Powderhorn Ranch, a unique stretch of land off the Texas coast near Matagorda Bay, is now in the full possession of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The land is destined to one day become a state park, according to the organization.
The 17,351-acre stretch is one of the largest remaining tracts of unspoiled coastal prairie in the state and TPWD's acquisition is the fulfillment of a decades-long dream. With funding from supporters and multiple fundraising campaigns, the foundation was able to manage the $37.7 million dollar purchase. With additional money generated for habitat restoration and an endowment to fund longterm maintenance, that price ultimately landed closer to $50 million.
The hiking stretches mentioned have worked so well for me after completing a hike. The following day I will take about 20-30 minutes to stretch more and roll my muscles out because my body usually needs it! If you are looking for rollers, you can use a foam roller, muscle massager, or foot roller!
Turf toe is an injury that affects the big toe joint. It happens when you bend your big toe too far or too forcefully. This motion causes soft tissues and ligaments in the big toe joint to stretch or tear (sprain). Ligaments are tissues that connect your bones.
I thought this list of cheap ground beef recipes would be great to share with you all since I know that we can all use budget friendly recipes that will help stretch our food budgets over the coming months. Mayne of these recipes only take about 30 minutes to make so they also take very little effort and time as well.
Depending on the meal, you might also want to bulk it up and make it more filling so that the ground beef stretches every further. Many of these meals would go well with egg noodles, tater tots, macaroni noodles, or mashed potatoes.
I love to make this when we are trying to make a protein-filled breakfast! I never use a specific recipe, but I just brown up some ground beef with garlic and onion powders then I add in whatever veggies I happen to have on hand. Spinach and diced sweet potatoes are some of my favorites to add.
This recipe is something that my grandma used to make all the time! It can also be found in the original Fannie Farmer cookbook. Mix 1/2 pound cooked ground beef plus 1/2 cup cooked rice with a bit of salt and pepper. Add a little Tomato Soup from a can to the beef and set aside. Boil 8 large cabbage leaves in water for 2 minutes until they are soft and pliable. Place a small amount of the beef mixture in the middle of each cabbage leaf and roll up into a tight bundle. Put a toothpick in the roll to help it stay. Put the rolls in a casserole dish along with the rest of the soup and 1/2 cup of water. Cover and bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
I have the basic recipe for this here on my website but my book, Little House Living: The Make Your Own Guide goes into more detail on how to change it up with many different varieties. No matter how you make it, this is a great way to stretch a single pound of hamburger into a large meal.
This is one of my favorite recipes to make because you can literally add any amount of ground beef you happen to have on hand. If you have a small amount of cooked ground beef leftover from another meal, this delicious comfort food is how to use it up!
I agree about meat prices. When ground beef is on sale, I make multiple meat loaves and freeze all but one. I also make burger patties with 4 oz portions I weigh out, then separate them with parchment paper. These are packed with two buns. When I need a quick meal, burgers are perfect.
I just want to let you know how much you are appreciated! I live in a very rural county in Oregon and poverty is great. I serve meals on wheels once a week. We also go to the Indian reservation. People here go to the food bank once a month also. trying to find more recipes made from the staples that come in food boxes is sometimes hard We get alot of rice, beans all varieties.lentils. for a month you get 3lbs of hamburger. so stretching it as far as we can is the goal. I am 67 years old, have MS and other health problems. My income is $801.00 a month. There are alot of people living on less. We all contribute and share and help each other. Anyway thankyou lady and God bless you and your family and keep up the good work.
Theoretically, stretching before getting out of bed may also help prevent falls. "By focusing on your legs and arms, you may be more careful and mindful when you put your feet on the ground," Dr. Frates says.
Lie on your back with your legs extended. Bend your left knee. Grasp the back of your left thigh and pull your knee toward your chest. Flex your right foot and press the thigh and calf of that leg down toward the bed to feel a stretch in the front of your right hip and top of your right thigh. Return to the starting position and repeat with the other leg.
Lie on your right side with your legs stacked and extended. Rest your right arm under your head. Bend your left knee and bring your heel toward your left buttock, reaching back with your left hand to grasp your foot. Feel the stretch in the front of your thigh and hip. Turn onto your left side and repeat the exercise.
Lie on your back with your left leg extended. Bend your right knee and place the strap around your right foot. Hold the strap with both hands. Flex your right foot and lift it toward the ceiling, straightening the leg as much as possible. Pull the strap to feel the muscle stretch. Repeat on the other side.
Position yourself on all fours, knees hip-width apart, big toes touching, and head and neck in neutral alignment. Slowly drop your buttocks back toward your heels as you extend your hands in front of you and rest your forehead on the bed. Feel the stretch down your arms, shoulders, and back.
Lie facedown with your legs extended and toes pointed. Place your hands just below your shoulders, palms down, and press your palms against the bed to slowly lift your head, shoulders, and chest. Feel the stretch down the front of your torso and across your chest.
