One way to feel immediately better

🧘 Today’s Tip: Do this easy spine stretch.

No matter how busy your day gets, you have time to do the very satisfying spine stretch that is cat-cow. Certified personal trainer Anna Maltby calls cat-cow “the little black dress of stretches.” It’s easy, too — you get down on all fours and, essentially, alternate arching and curving your back. (Maltby includes more detailed instructions and an illustrative gif here!) She writes: “The deal is, cat-cow gives you the opportunity to articulate the spinal column, one vertebra at the time, to bring movement and circulation to every single inch of the spine (including portions that don’t typically see a lot of movement).” The best part? You’ll feel so, so good afterwards.
