A I'm now somewhat older!! I need the stretches .. and will get myself organised to do more - warmer weather and sun today helps a lot ..!! Great you're doing these - we all need them .. just read somewhere about someone attaching a treadmill to their desk - so I guess they can exercise and read? Burn the calories off .. also moving things around so we constantly have to get up and move to get things .. - a good walk would be better, with before and after stretches ... Have a good week ..

Great you’re doing these – we all need them .. just read somewhere about someone attaching a treadmill to their desk – so I guess they can exercise and read? Burn the calories off .. also moving things around so we constantly have to get up and move to get things .. – a good walk would be better, with before and after stretches …

Have a good week .. Hilary

It's funny as I read the synopsis I felt my tight hamstrings. Once I got a chance to stretch with you I felt much better. I really like these stretch breaks. I needed this tonight.

Thanks re: the boots! Hilary - I did categorize them and I will again because there is more to stretching than just from your desk! I'd also like to modify how I upload these so they can be downloaded to an mp3. :-) But for now I offer them here! Actually, if you are bending forward a lot you'll want to bend backwards to counteract the forward bend...hmmm backbends stay tuned for those stretches coming up. (And I hope all is ok with you, spending time in a hospital lately) Megan – Yes, you can go deeper by pulling on the chair – you are ahead of the game! Thanks re: the boots!

I also see that you have pre-empted me! and added all these wonderful stretches into a category .. so we can just go there and run through each stretch with you as we do them, til they've become a habit this end.

I just got new chairs, too, that I think will work well with that exercise, especially if I deepen it by grabbing the chair legs and pulling down further. (As a yogi once taught me.) You're awesome! And really cute boots, by the way! I love it! Thank you, Stacey!
