Tip of the Day: 26.01.2022

And s-t-r-e-t-c-h! Roger Frampton, author of Stretch and a movement coach, maintains: ‘Seven minutes of your day is the bare minimum you should be stretching.’ He recommends doing a daily spine rotation stretch: sit on the floor cross-legged and hold a broomstick horizontally at shoulder height, arms outstretched. Keep the body upright and rotate from your centre slowly to the left, pausing for a few seconds at maximal rotation point. Return to the centre and repeat to the right; continue for one minute. (If sitting cross-legged on the floor is a problem, we recommend sitting on a cushion or bolster. And if that’s hard, this exercise would also work seated.)
