"Treat your body like a fabulously expensive car that needs to last for 100 years!"

SLEEP
with a pillow between your knees and ankles to keep your hips open and relaxed.

HUG
a pillow at night and keep your chin slightly up to relax your neck and upper back muscles.

STRENGTHEN
your core stomach muscles with several kinds of sit ups. These can decrease low back fatigue, help posture and improve balance.

KITCHEN SINK PUSH UPS
can strengthen your chest, back, neck and good posture muscles without going to a gym! Do 10-30 push ups every other day, standing on your toes at the kitchen sink. With your hands dipping into the sink (easier on your wrists), push away with your stomach then lower down squeezing your shoulder blades together. Look out the window for correct head position, keep your neck long and shoulders down.
