⭐ Today’s session

Here is a 3-exercise routine you can do without leaving home.

THE TREE POSE

Stand tall with your feet together and arms at your sides. Shift your weight onto your standing leg, then bend the other leg. Try to bring the heel of the bent leg up and place it at the level of the other knee. You can position it lower and use your hands to help. Open your bent leg out to the side and fix your gaze on a point to hold your balance for 1 minute.

THE HALF-MOON POSE

This posture challenges your balance while toning your legs, core and back. Stand tall with your back straight. Exhale and lift your left leg. Extend your right arm and right leg. Rotate your torso to the left and raise your left hand toward the ceiling. Your body weight rests on your right leg. Your right hand is there only to help with balance. Hold this position for 1 minute, breathing deeply. Then lower your left leg on an exhale and return to the starting position. Repeat on the left side for the same amount of time.

THE HALF-BRIDGE POSE

Excellent for the back, this posture strengthens the lumbar region and ribcage while stretching the abdominals. Breathe with your belly and keep your chin tucked toward your chest throughout the posture (do not turn your head to the right or left).

Lie on your back. Bend your knees and hip-width apart. Bring your heels as close to your glutes as possible. Engage your core, squeeze your glutes and lift them toward the ceiling. Once your hips, thighs and knees are aligned, hold the position for one minute, breathing slowly.

Today’s tip: Stop crossing your legs

It’s something we rarely think about, but crossing your legs while seated creates compression and increases intravenous pressure, which can encourage the development of varicose veins and spider veins — and also hinders healthy circulation.

From today, make it a habit to sit up straight with your feet flat on the floor, and if possible, elevate your legs slightly so that your knees are a little higher than your hips.
