A large amount of work when working passively and the pressures at the workplace can make you depressed, tired, and no longer interested in finishing the task. In particular, working for a long time on the computer and using the computer mouse continuously will make your shoulders tight, and your elbows and wrists become stiff. At that time, not only work will be delayed, but your other daily life activities will also become sluggish and lifeless!
Yoga exercises and postures will help you relax, dispel fatigue, and be ready to focus and be awake to be creative, ready to tackle work better! To improve tension in the shoulders and lower arms, Drinkizz will introduce you to the Plank pose!
The Plank pose is a movement that helps to move your arms more, along with the muscles of the neck, shoulders, back, chest, abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and calves, which are also exercised, stretched, and strengthen at the same time. Often being done with the sequence of movements Downward-Facing Dog – Plank – Upward-Facing Dog to increase efficiency, let Drinkizz show you how to do this Plankmovement!
Instructions:
- Keep the Downward Facing Dog position and deep and steady breathing.
- As you exhale, push the body forward, 2 arms perpendicular to the floor. Back, buttocks, and legs in a straight line. Squeeze in the buttocks and keep a straight line, forming the ‘’Phalakasana’’, or Plank position.
- As you inhale, lower your hip. Push the chest forward, and open up the chest. Open up the shoulders, and face upwards.
- Exhale, and shift the focus to the lower body. Push the buttocks back into Downward Facing Dog.
Purpose of the Exercise:
- Strengthen and tone the shoulders, upper arms, chest, core (including the abs and the back), buttocks, thighs, and calves.
- Strengthen the hands, wrists, and forearm.
In addition to these above benefits, this pose above also affects your core energy, balancing body and mind to help you focus, be creative, and get ready for a new day! Follow Drinkizz and the O.N.E community for more useful exercises!
