Bend

During your day take a moment or a few to bend. Remember we are sitting most of the day. Get out of the chair and bend your knees. You can do this holding onto a chair to table edge or you can do it FREE. You only need to bend a ¼ of the way down to get the benefit. Shoot for 10 bends in 1 minute. Get to 2 sessions of 10 bends per day. Whoo!

Arm Circles

A great exercise to increase blood flow in your arms and upper body. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and extend your arms parallel to the floor. Circle your arms forward using small controlled motions, gradually making the circles bigger until you feel a stretch in your triceps. Reverse the direction of the circles after about 10 seconds. Repeat 2 times per session.

Tilt Your Pelvis

This is a wonderful exercise for your back as it helps to strengthen muscles in your abdomen which is important for support and structure. Lie on your back on the floor with your knees bent. Flatten your back against the floor by tightening your abdominal muscles and bending your pelvis up slightly. Hold for up to 10 seconds and repeat 5 times or as many times as it is comfortable.
