As 2013 draws to a close, it seems that the Festive hype is just taking off. Today it's Cyber Monday (in case you didn't get the message already), so if Black Friday didn't finish you off at the end of last week, this is yet another reminder that you've still got stacks to do and loads more money to spend, before you can kick back, relax and start afresh in the New Year!
So, in the countdown to Christmas - a stressful time in most people's books - I thought I'd take this opportunity to share some de-stressing routines you can easily slot into your busy schedule.
Today's video takes a look at some basic neck, shoulder and upper back exercises. You can do these sitting at your desk or in a small space in your office. You can do them alone, with your kids or even with your pets - I haven't learnt how to edit videos yet, so the cat joins me once again!
Working at a desk all day, in a fixed position, can cause immense stress to the body - especially in the neck and shoulder region. In turn, this can affect posture, leading to restricted breathing, movement and blood circulation, often resulting in pain.
A few minutes each day spent on these gentle "opening" manoeuvres can alleviate any "hunched" feeling in the upper body, return mobility to the joints and help bring increased oxygen to the muscles and brain. The end result being less pain and greater vitality.
So, why not lift that weight off your shoulders and try these for starters?

I shall bring you more stress-reducing ideas over the coming weeks.
Meanwhile have a relaxing day/evening wherever you may be.
