Stretching exercises to adjust the body and mind

When you feel mentally exhausted, you will usually involuntarily hunch over and curl up into a ball. In fact, the more incorrect the posture is, the more likely it is to cause spring sleepiness. At this time, you might as well sit up straight and do some stretching exercises. You will immediately feel relaxed, as if you have absorbed uplifting energy.

Stretching exercises include head flexion and extension, neck flexion and shoulder shaking, chest expansion and shoulder blade retraction, chest rotation with arms around hands, and standing upright and pulling.

The most common and simplest method is: stand with your feet parallel and shoulder-width apart, and stretch your arms to expand your chest, each time for 3-5 minutes. At the same time, move your neck, shrug your shoulders, turn your body left and right, and take deep breaths.

You can also face the wall, stand up straight, try to touch the ceiling with both hands, take a long, deep breath, then inhale, slowly tilt your head back, lean your body back slightly, lift your hips as much as possible, slowly stretch your arms around and behind your back, and exhale slowly. Repeat several times until your body feels slightly warm.

When doing stretching exercises, you should not exert force suddenly. Your movements should be slow and not too hasty, because haste can easily lead to strain. It is best to do some warm-up exercises first, such as shaking your hands and feet.
