No I’m not talking about exercise, that’s important too but not the topic here. I’m talking about literally keep moving. As we get older we find ourselves in the same position for long periods of time. Sitting while we drive, work, eat, play, and watch TV. The biggest muscle tension causing thing is lack of movement, and repetitive movements. Carpal tunnel, lower back pain, and tension headaches are often caused by these.

 There is an easy solution. 

Do not sit in the same position for more than 20 minutes.  At least get up and walk around, stretch, and protect your range of motion.

Some great times to include stretching are while you get ready in the morning. Stretch your neck in the shower. Stretch your lower back and legs while you brush your teeth.  Stretch your arms while you wait in traffic.

 At night when you’re done for the day stretch out and relax before bed. It doesn’t take much but it will have a huge impact on your physical well-being.

 Keep moving! Right now stretch out your ankles by making a circle with your toes. Make that your blog reading stretch!

Keep moving!
