Pre-ironing stretching exercises are the unsung heroes of laundry day. They're not as glamorous as folding, nor as exciting as steaming, but without them, your clothes would never fit properly. So, let's get to it!
1. Pre-ironing Pigeon-Toed Stance: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointed, and knees slightly bent. This stance is key to achieving optimal ironing board height.
2. The Pre-ironing Sway: Sway your arms from side to side, keeping your elbows loose and relaxed. This helps prevent ironing burnout (it's a real thing).
3. Bend and Twist: Bend at the hips, twist at the waist, and try not to strain anything. Repeat as necessary.
Learn the ancient art of steaming: the perfect companion to pre-ironing stretching exercises.
