Kaizen 3: Hand Exercises

I hope the previous post was quite useful, and I would like to give away few exercise tips for the benefit of those who spend a lot of time in their office chairs. The key point is that we need to do some exercises that keep up the movement of the body ensuring proper blood flow. After all the blood is the carrier of the oxygen to every minute part of the body.

• One of the biggest injury risk factors is static posture.
• Try to spend at least 5 minutes every hour away from your computer.
• Remember to ONLY stretch to the point of mild tension.
• Try to incorporate the stretches into your daily routine.
• Below are some illustrations of simple active stretches to perform at the office.
• Hand Exercises
  Tightly clench your hand into a fist and release, fanning out the fingers. Repeat 3 times
  
  
• 
  

These are simple exercise that do not take much time. You can do it sitting on you chair.

I will also show some exercises related to neck and shoulder too!

Body is the TEMPLE

"Deho Devalayaha Proktho Jeevo Devo Sanaathana"
I felt it is apt to start on this adage quoted in sacred vedas.
People pays visit to all temples/sacred places spends lot of time on their piligrimages, but they ignore their very own body which itself is a temple. Dwelling more on this quote, one can derive many meanings.
"Body itself is a temple whose indweller is God Himself"
As per my understanding, since God Himself resides in this body we should give more importance to this body. keep it clean, keep it in condition and pay obesiance to this gift from God.

I would like to end this post by quoting Lord Buddha -
"Every human being is the author of his own health or disease."
