Exercise Stretch

Who does not know the feeling of getting stiff when standing long time in a queue bus or train? Here are some easy one-minute exercises you can do almost everywhere to get your circulation going again and refresh your body.

1.) Thigh stretch. Find something or someone to hold on to steady yourself. Take hold of your ankle and pull it up behind your bottom and push your thigh back in the direction your hand is pulling. This gives the thigh a really excellent stretch. Now do the same with the other leg. Don't do this in a crowded area to avoid pushing and kicking other people with your feet.

2.) Calf Stretch. Still holding on what you were holding on to before, slowly bend your knees. Keep going as far as you can. Begin to feel the stretch in your calf muscle and your thighs. Try to get lower each time. Count to ten and relax back into standing position. Straighten your legs and back and stretch back, pulling shoulders back and sticking out your chest. Relax, and go on to your toes as if you are being pulled up by your hair. Count to ten to give yourself a good stretch. Now bend your knees again. Sink lower, if you can. When you come up you may find to need to shake out your legs. If you do this, point your heel away from you to get a really full stretch. Repeat this exercise twice.

3.) Wall Push. Find space in front of a wall or the side of the bus or train. Stand about three feet away from it and lean forward, supporting yourself with your hands. Now bend your elbows and lean in, giving your calf muscles an even greater stretch than before. After doing this for thirty seconds, take one leg away and put it at the back of the other ankle. This enables you to concentrate on one leg at a time. Do this exercise 15 seconds per leg.

These three little exercises can be done almost everywhere when you need to stand and wait for anything.
