Dribble! Dunk! Swish! March Madness is upon us! Although we can’t play basketball in the workplace, we can still stretch and take care of our bodies. This month’s WOWs will focus on “Mat Madness”, which is to promote stretching your back and hips. If you don’t have a place to lay down a yoga mat, each week will feature a chair alternative. This week’s WOW is to pull your knee to your chest. You can perform this seated or laying down on a yoga mat. Hold for 30 seconds on both the right side and left side. Small stretch breaks can make a huge difference!

Hello everyone! February is American Heart Health month, and the goal for these WOW’s is to get your muscles moving and heart pumping! Cardiovascular exercise can reduce the risk of heart disease while increasing your endurance and stamina. Remember, please consult a physician before starting an exercise program.
