MAKING FITNESS FUN
The upper body can get tight throughout the day from working at a computer and from stress. Both deep breathing and stretching can help with releasing upper-body tension. Try to focus on breathing deeply throughout this flexibility workout to get the most benefit.
What part of this workout is your favorite? Do you have a favorite stretch or movement in this workout?
