I have applied this to my exercise routine. Seems to be a useful reminder.
I do yoga like stretches everyday. To ward off arthritis, back pain, carpal tunnel and Achilles Tendonitis.
It helps prevent RSI. Repetitive Strain Injury too.
Take a simple stretch like touching your toes. Try and hold it for 30 seconds. Some other exercises I do include calf stretches against the wall. Knees to to chest on the floor. Downward Dog and a sitting piriform is Stretch. Do you know The Plank? That's a great one for abdominals.
Also I hold my breath for two special exercises. Again 30 seconds.
a) glutes contraction
b,) abs contraction
After 40 minutes of this I feel more able to face the problems of the day, both physical and mental.
