2/2/22-Jumping Jacks

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. Today’s Workout of the Week is to perform jumping jacks! Start off with your feet shoulder with apart and reach your arms above your head as you jump and spread your feet apart. Bring your hands down and move your feet back together. Perform for 30 seconds. An alternative of a jumping jack is to sidestep to the right while reaching your arms up, and then step back and reach your arms down. Then repeat on the left side.

Today’s workout is to take another stretch break to loosen up your back muscles. It might not seem like much, but short stretch breaks throughout the day will help with increasing your mobility and decrease pain or discomfort in your lower back.

Sit up tall and place your hand on the side of your chair and back of your chair. Twist your core and look over your shoulder to feel a deep stretch in your spine. Release, and switch to the other side. Hold for 20 seconds for each stretch.
