Hi. I'm Michelle Ryon, a Certified personal Trainer and I am here showing you how to do some exercises and stretches that you can do at the office.

Right now, I am going to show you how to stretch your upper and lower back and also your chest. So, for the upper back, you want to grasp your hands in front and you want to reach forward with both arms, you can drop your chin to your chest and just relax your upper back and hold this stretch 20 to 30 seconds and then release. For the lower back, you want to lean all the way forward, just let your arms hang down towards the floor. You can widen your knees a little bit if you need to go lower and just let that lower back relax and stretch. You can drop the head towards the floor and then back up.

And for the chest, you are going to grasp the hands behind your back, lift your chest and raise the arms up behind your back opening the chest and stretching into the chest and shoulders. Again, hold it 20 to 30 second. So, thats how we stretch our upper and lower back and our chest. Now, I am going to show you how to stretch your forearm, your triceps, and your neck.
