A Simple Standing Spinal Stretch To Loosen Up The Whole Body

Whether you have two minutes before your next meeting or 15 minutes to bring energy and mobility back into your body, this stretch is a calming yet effective way to use that time. "The more you reach and stretch in all directions, the more you benefit here," writes Bartha.

Along with this stretch, which adds movement to a long day of sitting, it can also help wake up the body in the morning, release tension after an intense workout, or simply calm the mind after a stressful day.

"It's really a huge stress and tension reliever," says Bartha in the comment section. "Like a giant breath!"
