Stay Fit — Even While You Sit


When you spend most of your day in roughly the same position, it can be hard to get active and stretch beyond your comfort zone. But in just five minutes, you can improve blood circulation and flexibility — and feel rejuvenated for your next task. All it takes is a chair and some smart stretches. Here are a few to get you started:

• Sit straight in your chair. Leave a bit of space between your back and the chair. Squeeze your shoulder blades together. Count to five. Release and repeat.

• Lift your arms until they’re level with your shoulders. Using your left hand, grasp your right arm above the elbow. Gently pull it toward your left shoulder. Hold. Release and repeat with your left arm.

• Cross your right leg and rest your ankle on your left knee. Grasp your ankle and rotate it clockwise, then counterclockwise. Rotate about 15 times each way. Repeat on your left ankle.
