How Drive Tme can Be Relaxing
I would personally NEVER be doing the neck rolls in the car!! Those seem dangerous to me!! Unless I was in the passinger seat.
On
marathon, cross-country vacation drives, excitement can quickly turn to
boredom, and finally degenerate into a feeling of being cramped and
cooped up in a stiff, uncomfortable position. Here are a some quick,
relaxing moves that will create a muscle-loosening diversion on your
next car trip. (*These exercises should be done by passengers only, not
drivers.)
Step 1: Neck Roll
Bring your left ear down towards your left
shoulder and hold. Roll your head down towards the ground and bring
your chin to your chest. Hold and finally, roll your head to the right
and bring that ear to your right shoulder.
Step 2: Concentration Curl
Hold something about the weight of
a small dumbbell with an underhand grip, resting that elbow on the
inner side of your thigh. Curl the dumbbell to your shoulder, keeping
upper body still. Lower the weight back down.
Step 3: Lower Shoulder Stretch
Bring one arm directly across
your body and hold it tight with the opposite arm. Pull the opposite
arm to your body, hold for approximately 12 to 15 seconds and relax.
Time Involved: As long as you like
Body Benefit: A more flexible, rested body
