Take a Seat.
It’s Good Exercise

• Behind the Back: Reach behind the chair and clasp your hands together. Stretch your arms backwards as far as you can.

• Hand Squeezes: For help relieving tension, clench and release your hands for 5 seconds and alternate.

• Sitting Rotations: Sit face forward with both feet flat on the floor. With your fist on your chest and your elbows out, twist to the left, and then to the right.

• Water Bottle Curls: With a full water bottle in hand, sit it up straight, and curl the water bottle like you would with a hand weight. Repeat on the other side.

• Leg Extensions: Sit straight up in a chair, and tuck your abs in. Slowly extend one leg upwards until it is level at your hips. Hold for 3-5 seconds, and lower. Repeat for a series of 5 on each leg.

• Shoulder Blade Squeeze: Sit with your back straight, and breathe in deeply as you squeeze your shoulder blades together. Hold for a count of 5, and exhale as you release. Repeat 5 times.

• Calf Stretch: Grab the back of your chair for balance and stand up straight. Step back with your right leg and press your right heel into the floor. Bend your left leg slightly and feel the stretch in your right calf. Bend your back knee slightly and feel the stretch in your right heel. Hold for around 20 seconds. Relax and repeat with the other leg.
