Follow these simple steps and make this a daily must-do when you wash your hands or find yourself doing the dishes.
- Standing at the sink place your hands on the counter edge shoulder width.
- Step back to arms length with your legs hip distance apart.
- While pressing into your hands let your navel drop towards the sink drawing your shoulders back together opening up the front of your body.
- Look upward and inhale deeply then hinge back to a flat back exhaling.
- Repeat this three or more times - 60 seconds worth is my aim for you.
- Do it daily and notice how much better you feel.
