What is the gymnastics for? The meaning of the gymnastic exercises below is to relax all the tense muscles of the body without exception. Take carefully look at your mirror reflection after a violent quarrel: the eyebrows were led, the jaws are tightly compressed, the forehead is bewildered, the corners of the mouth look down. We do not even notice how many facial muscles reacts to an unpleasant conversation! However, watching the sensations in the whole body, you will understand that almost all muscles are tense: arms, legs, shoulder girdle, back and even abdominal muscles!

Put your hands on the armrests of the chair and strongly tighten your shoulders and forearms, as if someone wants to pull you out of it, but you do not let it do it. Then relax, the hazard has passed! With the tension, raise your shoulders up to the head, count to yourself to three, then lower them to the end.
