Stretches

[ankh]

Lately, I've been getting stabbing aches and pains in my legs and arms; given how many hours of my free time are spent in front of my pc, it's a no-brainer as to the cause. One scary article about blood clots and a Google search later, I came across this site:

The stretches are easy to follow, requiring neither specialist equipment nor rubber joints, and they only take a few minutes. There are probably better sites out there, and by all means point me at them if you know of one.

I don't know of any, but I'm going to keep this one open in a tab to remind me to do some stretches if I'm sitting here too long. I can't do the treadmill like I used to because of my bad back, but sometimes I get on the treadmill at a medium-slow walking pace just for ten minutes or so to warm up the muscles, and then I do a full stretch routine. Stretching works better when the muscles are already warm, but too often, I don't do it at all, and that's not good. This one I could do whenever I find I'm sitting here too long. I tried all the stretches, and they felt good.

Thanks for the link.
