Is your body saying it's time to break loose but the clock on the wall shows
that it's not even lunch hour? Push your chair back from your desk and try
this energizing move. Then, pass up a long lunch and take your newly
stretched hips, legs and back out for a brisk walk before starting your
afternoon's work.
Gently press down through the soles of your feet, let your spine move away
from the back of your chair and allow the top of your head to lift up toward
the ceiling. As you inhale, lift one leg up off the floor and interlace
your fingers, placing your hands just below your raised knee. Notice if
your shoulders are rolling forward and if your spine is rounding back toward
your chair.
On your next inhalation allow your spine to straighten, gently push your
chest forward and let your chin be parallel to the floor. Breathing
normally, allow your shoulders to lower and relax as you gently draw your leg
closer to your body with each inhalation.
When ready, slowly lower your leg and repeat on the other side.
