Make more movement a priority – even at your desk. Take 5 minutes to try these 3 energizing movements:
1. Seated Cat Cow:
- Sit tall in your chair with your hands on your knees
- As you inhale: Arc your spine, sending your chest forward
- As you exhale: Round your spine and push your upper back toward the back of your chair
- Repeat for 30-60 seconds
- Your breath guides your movement
2. Seated Spinal Twist:
- Sit tall in your chair
- On your inhale: Reach your arms over your head
- On your exhale: Twist to one side, placing your hands on your knees
- Keep your spine tall
- Repeat 3 times on each side
- On your 3rd Repetition: Breathe deeply and hold for 30 seconds
3. Seated Forward Fold:
-
- Sitting in a chair, separate your feet wider than your hips
- Lean forward from your hips
- Rest your torso between your legs
- Hold onto your elbows or place your hands on the floor
- Touch your chin to your chest
- Take deep breaths and hold this stretch 30-60 seconds
In Health & Happiness,
