Bit stiff? These 4 exercises make you flexible again

Are you tense in front of your laptop all the time and feel a bit stiff? With these 4 exercises you keep your body nice and flexible.

1. Toe squat

Stretch:rubbing and quadriceps

Start on your hands and knees, resting your insteps on the mat. Bring your hips back and sit on your heels. Fold your hands in front of your chest, close your eyes and bring your attention inward. Then curl your toes into the mat and hold the pose for one to two minutes.

2. Thread the needle

Stretch:shoulders, arms, upper back and neck

Get on your hands and knees and come on your elbows, keeping the buttocks above the knees. Rotate your chest to the right and pass your left arm under your right arm, laying on the outside of your shoulders and arms. Switch sides after two to three minutes.

Forward fold with shoulder stretch

Stretch:lower back, hamstrings and shoulders

Place your feet hip-width apart and hinge forward. Bend your knees if necessary. Relax the weight of your head and torso. Interlace your fingers behind your back, stretch your arms over your head toward the front of your mat, and surrender to gravity. Hold for about a minute.

Cat Cow

Stretch:neck, shoulders, back, hips, abdomen, chest and lungs

Get on your hands and knees, fingers spread forward. Lift your pelvic floor so that your back, neck and back of your head form a horizontal line. Exhale, curl your tailbone under you and look at your knees (rounded back). Inhale, bend your tailbone, lower your back and look up (hollow back). Repeat fluently for ten breaths in a row.
