Health Fitness Tip

      A little extension goes a long way. We hunch, we type, we text, we surf (the net), we wash dishes, our faces, our teeth etc. in other words we round forward A LOT. Add a simple extension to your workout regimen everyday no matter what your workout is make sure to extend! Regardless of your level of fitness anyone can work on their extension working the muscles "posterior", in other words, on the BACK of the body.
      Lie down on your stomach and extend your arms out to the side like a big letter "T" (make sure your arms are directly across from each other making one straight line from fingers to fingers) then lift everything up! Arms, head, chest, legs off the ground, then lower, do 10 reps and hold for 5 counts on the last rep and repeat the series 3 times. Make sure to focus your eyes on the floor slightly in front of you to keep the neck in a continued arch with the spine, NOT looking forward to the wall in front of you because odds are your neck will be too arched unless you are a dancer or gymnast and make sure to keep your knees straight!
      I have watched, in merely weeks and months, students improve amazingly with this simple exercise. Extend your body-extend your mind-extend your health!
