Exercise Your Neck and Shoulders While Watching TV
These days because of our busy lifestyles it is getting increasingly harder to find the time to take care of our health especially when it comes to exercise. As they say necessity is the mother of invention and so we need to find ways to get the exercise we need and this usually means multi-tasking. Below you will find some tips to utilize your time to exercise your head and shoulders while sitting at your computer or watching televison. 1. Head Rolls Simple head rolls can really help strengthen your neck. Sit up straight in your chair, and slowly roll your head to the right, then to the back, to the left, and then to the front. Do this 5 to 10 times, but don't get dizzy! 2. Shoulder Stretches This is great for shoulders. Stand upright and push both arms straight back with your palms facing down and hold for five seconds. Bend in your arms at the elbow, fingers pointing straight ahead, and hold for five seconds. Do this 5 to 10 times. 3. Swinging Ax This is another great shoulder strengthener. Stand up; clasp your hands by your right shoulder, like you're holding an ax. Gently swing the ax by straightening your elbows and moving your hands toward your left thigh. Alternate shoulders, and repeat 7 or 8 times. 4. Air Fighting Get ready for a fight with this great shoulder exercise. Raise your arms in the on guard position, hands in a fist. Keep your hands at shoulder level and push your elbows as high as you can, isolating the pressure on your shoulders. Do this 10 to 15 times. 5. Funky Chicken Do that funky chicken! Put your fingertips on your shoulders, elbows pointing out to the sides. Pull your elbows back as far as you can, then push your elbows forward and try to touch them together. Do this 10 times. 6. Shoulder Roll When is the last time you said, I don't know, with a shoulder shrug? This is actually a very good exercise. You can do it sitting or standing. Just shrug your shoulders as high as you can, hold it there for 3 seconds, then let them down. Do this 10 times. So there is a few ways to sneak in some extra exercise while sitting down. Your neck and shoulders are quite often neglected when it comes to exercise yet many people suffer from stiif necks and sore shoudlers. By taking a few minutes each day to do some of the above simple exercises you can help avoid these problems in your neck and shoulder areas.
