This full body stretching session can help relax muscles, relieve stress or tension, and keep your body limber.

Consult a physician before beginning any exercise program and always listen to your body, moving at your own pace. It is important to note that stretching should be gentle and comfortable, never painful! Ease into each motion until you feel a mild stretch, then hold for approximately 20-30 seconds and breathe. Use this workout to relax muscles, relieve stress or tension, and keep your body limber.

Shoulder Rolls- Gently roll shoulders back and down a few times.

Neck Stretches - Slowly lower ear toward the shoulder while keeping shoulders relaxed down. Repeat on other side.

Upper Back Stretches - Keeping chin parallel to floor, turn head off to one side, then gently lower chin toward armpit. Repeat on other side. Clasp hands in front of chest, keeping shoulders relaxed down and gently stretch forward.

Chest Stretch - Reach arms out to sides and stretch through the hands or gently reach back and clasp the seat or back of a chair if sitting. Or, if a doorway or wall is available, place forearm against it with arm at a 90 degree angle and elbow approximately at shoulder height and then repeat on other arm.

Arm Stretch 1 - Bring straight arm across the chest and gently hug it in with the other arm. Look away from your hand for more of a stretch and feel free to add in some wrist circles with the straight arm. Repeat on other arm.

Arm Stretch 2 - Reach straight arm overhead as far as comfortable, then rotate the palm to face behind you and bend the elbow, letting fingertips fall near the back of shoulder. Hold here with a relaxed neck or gently guide elbow back with other hand. Repeat on other arm.

Torso Stretch - From a chair, sit tall and walk hands as far to side of the leg, hip or the seat of the chair as possible. Keep posture tall and dont let torso or shoulders round forward. Repeat on other side. From the floor, kneel on all fours and let hips sink back toward heels as far as comfortable. With chest relaxed toward floor and head relaxed between the arms, walk hands to the right and hold. Repeat to the left. (This variation can be done with a step or stability ball.)

Low Back Stretch - Place hands on the back of a chair, and lightly press down (or you can hold onto a sturdy, non-slippery surface like the edge of a counter). Walk feet back as you fold from hips, pressing them behind you, and lower chest towards floor. Arms should be outstretched and you should feel a gentle lengthening through the spine.Or, lie on the floor with head resting back, knees bent, and feet flat on the floor. Draw the bellybutton in as you flatten the lower spine against the floor and breathe steady.

Quad Stretch- Gently bend knee and allow it to relax toward the floor. Standing you can hold onto foot or set it on a step. Seated you can let your thigh hang over the edge of your seat.

Hamstring Stretch- Straighten one leg gently and fold from the hips until a slight stretch in back of leg.

Calf Stretch - Sit, extend one leg, draw toes toward head. Or, place ball of foot against wall and lean in.

Figure 4 Stretch - In seated or lying down position, extend one leg and cross the other ankle over it (below or above, but not on, knee). Relax the top knee out to the side. Adjust bottom leg for comfort.

Strive to Thrive quarantine workout #4 | Strive to Thrive - Richland Source

Its a bit fruitless these days to try to predict whats going to happenwith offseason programs, with the release of the schedule, with training camps, with preseason games, with the regular season. The NFL, like all of society, is at the whim of a virus.

With Roger Goodell confirming that the draft would stay on the scheduled dates of April 23-25, thats one mystery solved. But the form it will takethe where and the how, especiallyis in a nascent state. What we do know is most people normally together for the draft will be separated. It has created one interesting perspective. If youve done Zoom video conferencing, or youve watched recent nightly newscasts, maybe youve seen eight or 10 people on the laptop screen or the TV all ready to be called on by a host. Imagine the same thing on draft night. The NFL will send out about 50 portable camera kits with microphones to top prospects and college coaches, with better-than-FaceTime quality, so NFL draft coverage will be able to bring in, say, LSU quarterback Joe Burrow from the family home outside Athens, Ohio, when/if hes the first pick of the Bengals. Then Burrow will be able to do his media availability with the Cincinnati press, and whatever other one-on-ones he chooses to do.

Not perfect, but necessarily different.

The draft itself will be different. The first two or three rounds shouldnt be upset all that much because of the scouting changes; the top 100 players were poked and prodded normally for seven months of the college preseason, regular season, bowl season and combine season before everything shut down. But its the later rounds, as NFL Networks Daniel Jeremiah said in this space last week, that could see teams trying to hit the safe singles instead of the risky triples.

What teams will succeed? said former Patriots and Chiefs executive Scott Pioli, now a CBS Sports analyst. Teams that are focused and worked long and hard at the Senior Bowl and the all-star games and the scouting combine. Teams that know how to scout. Teams that have a strong system in place.

When I pointed out how that might be a disadvantage to new coaches like Carolinas Matt Rhule, fresh out of Baylor to the NFL, Pioli disagreed. Not necessarily. He has a network of people he can call on in the Big 12 that not many teams will have, and hell have a lot of contacts back East from Temple. [Rhule is the former Temple head coach.] That could be a big advantage on some players for Carolina. In general, the good franchises rely on scouts for success in rounds five, six and seven.

I thought it interesting that Pioli brought up the drafting of Tom Brady in 2000 in the sixth round. In that year, the Patriots scouted Brady during the season with an area scout, then at the East-West Game in California with other scouts, then at the combine. Then the late Dick Rehbein, then New Englands quarterback coach, did a private workout with Brady in Michigan. Then New England drafted him 199th overall. Piolis point: All of that scouting would have been the same in 2020 except for the private workout. That workout was a big deal, of course. But the Patriots had a lot of knowledge on Brady before that workout, and could well have taken him during the draft had they not been able to go to Ann Arbor for the private session.

Too many people are complaining about what isnt possible in the draft process this year, Pioli said. The rules are the same for everybody.

One other interesting thing I picked up: At least one team is quietly using GPS data from college teams to estimate the 40 times and other movement measurables from players who didnt work at the combine. Thats a smart way to get an edge.

Beyond the draft: I cant imagine offseason programs existing in any sort of together way. More likely, teams could have classroom settingfor playbook learning, but conditioning and training likely will have to be lonely pursuits through the spring.

As Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill said Sunday: Our IT people have been our MVPs, setting up our coaches and scouts to work remotely. They could do the same with playersand likely itd be easier to set up with the more digitally fluent younger generation.

I asked Atlanta owner Arthur Blank, a forward-thinking techie in his own right, how he saw the near future.

I think the NFLs going to be fine, he said. I dont mean it wont be changed. It is being changed now. How itll impact things like training camp, sooner than that, the OTAs . . . Training camps will probably be affected in some way. And of course, your point about the stadiums, with 50,000 to 70,000 people, whatever it may be. I think its just too early to tell. Of course we have to be able to provide a safe environment for fans. Thats the most critical thing.

On whether he believes there will be a 16-game regular season, Blank said: If I had to speculate now, and I use the word speculate because thats really all it is, I would say yes. Only because its so far away from where we are today. I could easily see camps being shorter, players being tested on a daily basis, things of that nature. No fan attendance. Things like that. We may have fewer preseason games, which probably wouldnt be the end of the world. But I think by September, my hope is by the time the regular season starts, that well be able to bring people together in some form or fashion in a safe manner and play.

I do think we need football now. Its hard to turn on any device you have today, almost any site, television, PCs, laptops, phoneswithout the first thing popping up being something on the virus. And thats appropriate. However, I also think that people want a diversion. People want to be optimistic. People want to think about things that are really good times for themselves and their families and their loved ones and their communities. I think to have that kind of hope and aspiration mixed into your daily life is important.

Blank was in Hilton Head with family when we spoke on Saturday afternoon. Even though he hasnt been in a coronavirus hotspot, he voiced what Ive heard mental-health experts say. Its strange to write about this in a football column, but these, of course, are strange times.

I usually walk and exercise a lot under any circumstances, Blank said. But now I know its important to exercise the body and calm the mind. I told our associates the other day youve got to find ways to calm your mind. Whether it be thinking, meditation, reading, prayer, slower breathing, whatever it may be, do something. Because its easy under these conditions to have your mind racing all over the place. Its important to be able to keep your body moving, keep it functioning, keep it active and yet have a calm mind at the same time.

How will the remote 2020 NFL Draft look? Here are some guesses - NBC Sports - Misc.

If you appreciate heavy bass served up with a side of phenomenal sound design, then Kai Wachi is the guy for you. This Boise based producer has masterfully created some of the heaviest tunes in bass music to date. Its impossible to listen to a track of his and not feel the need to get up and get hyped.

One of the early members of the Kannibalenfamily, Kai Wachi has perfected his craft and his production techniques throughout the years. The result being head-splitting dubstep that has gotten him slots atLost Lands, EDC Las Vegas,Paradiso and many more. To add to his long list of successes is his recent DEMIGOD headline tour, which had numerous dates sold out across the country.

With his first release of this year, he shows listeners a more emotional side with his new single Run. The track features lush vocals fromDylan Matthewand beautiful chord progressions from Kai Wachi along with his signature heavy bass sound mixed in. While 2019 was a huge year, we are glued to our seats to see how 2020 plays out for him!

Take a listen to Run on Spotify below, download or stream it on your favorite platform, and read on for our chat with Kai Wachi!

I started writing chords on my keyboard and initially liked the idea of the intro and built it off of that. The drop I had the idea of being able to make it emotional without it being a future bass kind of track. It worked out well and once I linked up with Dylan, he really took the songwriting next level.

Oh yeah. I honestly resonate with my music more right now when I make songs like this. I get super proud of them. Ill have more, but I really want to take my time with them to get them perfect.

I just spit a lot of those tracks out, I honestly dont know how I did it. But I was in the rat race of 2019 in the bass scene when I was making those tracks. In my opinion, I come out with watered-down versions of my own music when I work that fast. The tracks are still cool, but they were more for going hard live.

It felt really good and relieving because your first tour is really the ultimate test of how well youre actually doing and if you took the step at the right time. So grateful for everyone who came out!!

We are more focused on creating better music and using the time to dial in the areas that we feel need more attention. Specifically for me the music!

I think other DJs doing live streams and one on one lessons is great! For me, I dont own CDJs, and I felt what better way to personally give back than to offer a workout plan since thats right up my alley and will keep people healthy during a tough time.

Comparison. Comparison of my numbers and music to others. Which in 2019 drove me to the worst mental state of my career Ive ever experienced. I overcame it by approaching music with no boundaries again as I used to when I was younger.

Dont make tracks for other DJs to play. Its a trap. Make weird sh*t. Make it your own. F*ck formulas. Thats how you make a name.

This year will be my best year of Kai Wachi music. I can feel it.

In a park along the Hudson River in Manhattans Battery Park City, New Yorkers are queuing up six feet apart, of course for their turn to play with a wall.

Its a gray slab surrounded by a chained fence that looks like it might have once been part of a racquetball court. A month ago, the drab-looking wall would have been easily overshadowed by the sleek Equinox or Asphalt Green gyms close by.

But now, its become the belle of the ball. Locals are lining up to have their turn with it.

Christian Jorg, 56, who runs two start-up accelerators, gets there at 7 a.m. There is no system really, he said. Its first come first served.

An avid tennis player, in normal times he would be playing at a tennis club in Westchester. But now that its closed and hes isolating, which means no tennis partners, hes playing against the wall.

I dont have any other choice, he said. But its actually fun. The ball comes back to me quickly, so I can do volleys and backhands. Its also good for concentration. Its such good exercise, he said, that he only needs to use it for about 20 minutes.

Do I prefer playing with a partner? Probably, said Mr. Jorg, who grew up hitting tennis balls against walls in Munich, Germany. But you have to make do for now.

Zara Chadowitz, 35, a senior program manager at Amazon who lives in the West Village, refuses to disclose the location of her wall.

She discovered it last week on a grocery run when she saw people playing racquetball against it. She returned a few days later with her tennis racket and a few balls.

I felt like it was the first day I was sort of winning Corona, she said. I hadnt played tennis in so long. I got the exercise, the endorphins. There was a meditative aspect to it.

She now feels as if shes part of a secret community. There was a cute old guy who was throwing a ball against a wall in his surgical gloves, and a basketball guy playing alone in a surgical mask, she said. It looks like people are using the wall for whatever they want.

For Ms. Chadowitz, hitting balls against the wall is a nostalgic and comforting experience, as she grew up playing tennis this way in Manchester, England. My dad built a wall in the garden, and he painted a line across it where the line would be, she said. I would make up imaginary games in my head, pretending I was playing friends or my brother.

Lauren Wire, 31, a publicist who lives on Manhattans Upper East Side, has never given much thought to the brick walls that line her buildings courtyard. Ive definitely never touched these walls before, she said.

Now theyre part of her daily routine.

Everyday she sets up her yoga mat against one to do exercises she would normally do at CrossFit. Sometimes she does wall-sits and headstands. Other times she focuses on stretching. She even ordered a weighted ball so can squat, throw it against the wall, catch it, and return to a squat.

Before Coronavirus I would have felt awkward doing this in public, she said. Now I am putting music on with my sports bra and crushing it.

Some neighbors even cheer her on when they see her.

Shelly Eichas, 33, a personal trainer and registered dietitian who also lives on the Upper East Side, said shes been amazed at how New Yorkers have incorporated various city objects into their workouts.

Ive seen people using statues, stairs, benches, she said. I saw somebody the other day in the park using a tree. He was just scaling the tree up and down, up and down. I was pretty impressed.

She also understands the draw to the wall and is encouraging her clients to find one to use for resistance in doing burpees or push-ups. I could go on forever about what you can do on a wall, she said.

Walls are also doing their part to help parents entertain their children, too. Noah Coslov, 38, a freelance sportscaster, introduced one as a new playmate to his five year-old daughter, Eden. Two weeks ago they went to an empty basketball court in Midtown East with tennis balls. There they found a wall, not in use. So they summoned their imaginations.

We probably made up eight different games, throwing the ball against the wall at targets and passing it to one another, he said. I certainly wont forget the memory, and I hope she wont either.

He didnt consider possible infection at the time, he said. I didnt even think through the tennis ball touching the wall, and then us touching it.

But he did come to worry about other people. He said that he and his daughter left the basketball court once another person arrived who wanted her time with the wall.

Some New Yorkers are hooked, they said, and intend to keep playing with their favorite walls, even when the city becomes fully operational.

I am going to keep doing this, Ms. Chadowitz said. In New York, its hard to get a tennis court, and its hard to find someone to play with who is the right level not too good and not too bad, she explained.

With the wall you can go anytime you want, you dont have to book or rely on anyone else, she said. I think this is going to be my weekly ritual.

A Wall. A Ball. Thats All: Your New Social-Distancing Workout - The New York Times

When Gov. Eric Holcomb issued a stay-at-home order on Monday, many people thought that the list of attractions being temporarily shut down would include golf courses.

But in his directive, the governor talked about the public still being able to exercise outside as long as they were practicing social distancing. Since golf is not a contact sport, the Indiana Golf Association talked to the governors office about allowing people to play golf with precautions.

When the governor issued the stay-at-home order, there was a lot of professional conversations about golf courses because he mentioned physical activity and air, said Nikki Murphy, director of sports programs for Columbus Parks and Recreation. So golf courses came up, and there was some discussion with the Indiana Golf Association, and there was a lot of back and forth with them and the governors office. So the governor put out a follow-up to that where under a set of circumstances, golf courses could remain open if they wanted to.

Murphy, who oversees the citys Greenbelt and Par 3 golf courses, said the guidelines for safety on courses around the state were drawn up by officials at The Fort Golf Course in Indianapolis.

Story continues below gallery

While Par 3 is closed, Greenbelt remains open. Greenbelt was open on Monday, but after the governors order, had announced that it would be closed beginning Wednesday.

But over the course of Tuesday is when everything kind of came to a head with the golf office and the courses, Murphy said. So as an entity, we talked about the no-contact and really liked the parameters they had in place at The Fort. So we talked to the mayor and put together a list.

Among the restrictions on that list are that the public is not allowed in the clubhouse. Only golf pro Keith VanDeventer or a staff member are allowed in the clubhouse to take calls and with credit card information to give tee times.

Tee times for walking only are starting at 11 a.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. on weekends until 6 p.m. No carts are permitted. The city has removed flagsticks, rakes, ball washers and water containers and the restrooms are closed. The cups on each hole have been inverted so that golfers dont have to reach into them to retrieve their balls.

It really is zero-contact, Murphy said. Were practicing social distancing out there. If done right, it can be a great activity for people to practice.

The precautions being taken are similar at Columbus other two golf courses, Harrison Lake Country Club and Otter Creek. Like Greenbelt, Otter Creek is open for walking only for the time being.

Otter Creek pro Jon Hoover also said the course has removed flagsticks and raised the cups one inch. All the rakes and ball washers are off the course, the clubhouse is on lockdown and the driving range is closed. The putting green and practice range remain open, but players must use their own balls.

We had a teleconference with the IGA Section office, and a lot of the guidelines came down through the sport, through the state, Hoover said.

Otter Creek curently is running a special where golfers can walk 18 holes for $35 and nine holes for $20 every day to go along with the existing $15 Bartholomew County Special on the East Nine. The normal weekday rate for 18 holes is $65.

Hoover said the course had 55 rounds played on Thursday, when temperatures were in the high 60s.

Cooler temperatures the previous week didnt stop a few members from practicing or playing. A few days after playing Otter Creek, Ross Pushor, played at Harrison Lake with his brother Jeremy on Jeremys 40th birthday.

Columbus North graduate Henry Kiel, last years The Republic Boys Golfer of the Year, was at Harrison Lake to work on his short game. Kiels freshman golf season and school year at University of Evansville were cut short when students were sent home because of the coronavirus concerns.

I was kind of bored, Kiel said. I havent have anything to do at home.

Harrison Lakes cups are inverted to sit on top of hole. The course has removed sand buckets, sand bottles on carts ball washers and trash cans. The golf shop is closed, but doors are propped open so players can use restrooms.

Carts are permitted, but only with one person per cart.

We have a lot of safety precautions out here, and were taking every step possible to make sure our members and our staff are safe, Harrison Lake pro Austin Wright said. We have two pages worth of things that were doing to make sure everyone is taken care of. We are constantly wiping everything down, wiping down carts. Weve also suggested to our members that walking is suggested at times, especially to our younger members.

Harrison Lake chief operating officer Bob Haddad Jr. said the club has had around 40 to 45 players each day last week after it reopened on Tuesday following wetness.

We did not make any decisions rashly, Haddad said. We did all of our due diligence to make sure we are following the executive order and following our social distancing. Even if you put 40 or 45 players out on this course at the same time, youre going to have less than three players per hole. Its easier for us and safer for us as a private club than public courses that get way more golfers than we did. For our members here at the club, its safe.

Linda Fondren, who has been the owner and manager of Shape Up Sisters since 2009, has been a longtime fitness advocate. That hasnt stopped despite the temporary closure of her gym and every other gym in Vicksburg because of the coronavirus outbreak.

Fondren said plenty of people have called wanting to know what they could do to continue their fitness program while confined to their homes, and shes happy to share a few pointers.

I always go with the number one exercise in the world, which is walking, she said, noting that it can also be done at home while incorporating household chores.

Fondren shared some clever anecdotes she tells people to do when walking all through the house. They include making sure to go around and look at all the family photos, to walking to the kitchen and opening the refrigerator to see what you need to take out, to maintaining healthy eating.

She also suggested marching to the closet and, once there, do alternating kicks with opposite arms. That exercise helps with balance.

And when you are there look and see how you can rearrange your closet, Fondren said.

Sitting in a chair and leaning from side to side is good for stretching, she said, and using canned food items or water bottles works for bicep curls.

This way you are getting some strength training done, she said.

Incorporating what you do at the gym will work at home, Fondren said, it will just look a little different.

Fondren is also suggesting people go to silversneakers.com, which has videos with workout routines that can be done in tight spaces at home.

There are many types of exercises you can do at home and by the time you are done with an in-home circuit you would have had 20 minutes of great activity, Fondren said.

And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently. And the people healed. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal. And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed Stay # stayathome #noexcuses #youcandoit #believeinyourself #timeforyourself

And so Chris Hemsworth is offering up his help.

The Aussie actor has announced that he will offer six weeks of his health and fitness program Centr for free to customers, in a bid to make sure theyre maintaining physical and mental health amid the coronavirus outbreak.

So youre saying, we could come out of self-isolation looking as ripped as a Hemsworth? Sign us up for that!

Centr is an online website that aims to make health and happiness accessible to all with personalised programming of over 1,000 unique workouts, 500+ delicious recipes, and entry into their private Facebook community so that members can engage, share experiences and gain support.

And now you can get access to all of this for the next six weeks for free.

Beginning on 23 March to 31 March 2020 new customers that sign up via the Centr.com website receive six weeks free membership, unlocking the full Centr experience and access to their community.

Chris Hemsworth has said that during this tough time in the world, he wanted to do his bit to help people stay fit and stay connected.

We have been incredibly inspired by the outpouring of support and positivity from the Centr community during this challenging time, Chris said.

We hope that by making Centr available to everyone for this extended period, we can help even more people stay strong, healthy and find a sense of calm at a time when we all need that the most.

All you have to do to redeem the offer is visit http://www.centr.com and create an account, select a plan type and the six week free trial will be applied.
