Counter the metabolism-depressing effects of midday stress by boosting circulation and easing upper body tension. And take deep breaths while you stretch to provide cells with the energy-producing oxygen they need to burn fat.
CHAIR REACH AND DROP
A. Sit on edge of chair, feet flat, back straight. Extend arms overhead, palms facing each other, and gently arch back as far as comfortable. Hold for 1-2 seconds, then sit back up and lower arms to the side.
B. Clasp hands behind back and lean forward from hips, bringing chest toward thighs, arms toward ceiling. Hold 10-15 seconds.
Release and repeat.

This feels great! Good tips, mom, and I think a lot of these are good for my students, too.
As a student, it's good for me! Great start to the blog!
