In Post #180, I strongly suggested that after Thanksgiving Dinner you MOVE.
If movement is painful or difficult for you currently – don’t despair:
Get down on the floor and do the “Tipped Turtle” – lie on your back, stick your hands and legs up toward the ceiling and move them around in circles approximately 20 – 30 times. Reverse and move them the opposite direction. Then pound the bottom of your foot – my Tai Chi teacher calls this part the bubbling well. It will stimulate your immune system and entertain your guests.
The image above offers another option: Two stretchy bands looped through a loop which is held firm by the door because of a little metal ball that prevents it from sliding through. Pull down using mostly core muscles – not your arm muscles. Find bands and loop online.
