Bend
forward. Sitting on the edge of your chair with
your feet flat on the floor, lean forward until
your chest rests over
your knees. Let your arms hang loosely, fingertips
on the floor.
-
Act
like a flamingo. While
standing, hold on to the back of your chair and grasp your
right ankle
with your left hand. Keep
your hips facing straight ahead and pull your
ankle up toward your buttocks as far as you can. Hold,
then repeat
with the other
leg.
-
Stand
in the corner. Stand 24 inches or less from the
corner of a room and place your forearms
flat on each wall
at shoulder
height. Place your feet together, lean forward
and touch your nose to the corner, like a
push-up.
-
Cross
your arms. Bring
your left arm, elbow bent, across your chest, parallel
to the
floor. Use your right hand
to pull your
left arm further across your body. Repeat
with your other arm.
-
Stretch
your neck. Reach your right over your head and
gently grasp the left
side
of your head.
Gently pull your
head away
from your left shoulder with your
hand. Repeat with other side of your head.
-
Scratch
your back. Reach down the middle of your back with you
left
hand, pointing
your elbow
toward the ceiling.
Gently
push your elbow down with your
right hand for a deeper stretch. Repeat
with your other
arm.
-
Shrug,
roll and move your shoulders. Lift your shoulders
up to your
ears by squeezing
your shoulder
blades together,
pause
for 10 seconds, then release.
Put your hands on your waist
and slowly
circle
your shoulders
forward 10 times. Repeat
this movement
backwards as well. Finally,
extend both arms sideways at shoulder
height and
rotate your
arms 10 times in small
circles. Then repeat,
circling backwards.
-
Do
the twist. Sitting in your chair, cross your right
knee
over the left
knee. Place
your left hand on the
outside of your
right thigh and your
right hand on your right armrest
or on your
desk.
While
sitting up
straight, press your
left hand into your
right thigh and gently
twist to the right. Look over your
shoulder and
hold. Repeat
in the other
direction.
