For many, flying is rather exciting, especially when you're on your way to sun yourself in an exotic destination. However, it also means sitting for long periods of time, meaning it's important to stay active on a plane, even when you're desperate to lie back and binge-watch films.
In order to prevent poor blood circulation that causes blood clots to form, here are the easiest in-flight exercises you can do without looking too weird:
1. NECK ROLLS
While sitting in your seat, slowly drop your chin to your chest. Rotate your head five timesin a counterclockwise motion. Then repeat in the opposite direction. For an additional neck stretch, place your left hand on the top of your head and gently pull to the left. Repeat on the right side.
2. SHOULDER ROLLS
Sit in a relaxed position with your arms at your side. Slowly roll your shoulders forward five times. Reverse the motion and repeat five additional times.
3. SHOULDER STRETCH
While standing in the aisle, interlace your fingers behind your back. Bend forward slightly and lift your arms up as high as you can. Repeat five times.
