We want to wor

🚗❄️ Stuck in traffic this holiday season? Relieve driving stress and tension with this simple steering wheel exercise:

1️⃣ Grip the wheel at the 10-2 position.
2️⃣ Imagine pulling the wheel apart as if stretching it wider.
3️⃣ At the same time, pretend to snap the wheel like a twig.
4️⃣ Hold this position for 4–5 seconds, then relax.

This activates muscles under your armpits to counteract shoulder and neck tension caused by clenching and forward head posture. Do this at red lights to stay relaxed and focused during winter drives. Stay safe and tension-free!

🎄👵 Keep seniors active and safe this holiday season! With visitors staying indoors and walking less, it’s crucial to keep moving. Try a simple sit-to-stand exercise:

1️⃣ Move forward in your chair, about 6–8 inches from the backrest.
2️⃣ When sitting, lead with your hips—not collapsing—by reaching back with your butt.
3️⃣ When standing, push through your feet instead of throwing your body forward.

Do 2–3 sets of 5 reps to keep those leg muscles strong and ready for the new year. Stay active and steady!

❄️💪 Shoveling snow? Avoid back pain by keeping your movements balanced! Instead of twisting to one side while pushing or throwing snow, keep the shovel centered in front of you and walk behind it. This reduces strain on your spine and prevents one-sided twisting, much like proper vacuuming technique. If lifting snow, remember to keep it close to your body for added control. Or better yet, hire a neighborhood teen to do it for you!

Feel the stretch along your thumb tendons and forearm. Hold for a few seconds and repeat to keep your wrist ready for all the festivities. Stay injury-free and enjoy the season!

❄️💪 Shoveling snow this winter? Avoid bicep injuries with this simple tip: keep your arms close to your body! When your arms are extended, your biceps are in a weaker position and prone to strain. Instead, bend your elbows and hold the shovel closer to your torso for better leverage and less strain. Stay safe and keep the holidays pain-free!

😬🎄 Stressed about the holidays? Let’s tackle that jaw tension! Clenching from stress can impact your TMJ joints, but here’s a quick fix: open your mouth slightly, then shift your jaw left and right. Feel more tension in one direction? Focus there—repeat 5–6 times, holding for 2–3 seconds each. Adjust your mouth's openness to vary the stretch. Release the holiday stress, one jaw move at a time!

🎁🎄 Let’s stay healthy this holiday season while wrapping gifts! Prolonged bending can strain your shoulders and neck, so here’s a simple fix: shoulder shrugs. 💪 Pull your shoulders back to their natural position—no big arm movements needed. Feel tension? That’s the goal! Start with hands on your hips, progress to arms behind your back, and hold for 2–3 seconds. Repeat 5–7 times. Say goodbye to wrapping aches and hello to a joyful holiday!
