Time to take a physical activity break

Here are two balance exercises for you to include in your physical activity routine. Take a moment, now, to do this activity. You may find that this brief physical activity will energize and refresh you. You can perform this in your home or workplace.

LEG EXTENSIONS: Sitting up very tall with feet flat on the floor, knees together, straighten the left leg as much as you can while keeping your foot flexed. Touch the heel lightly to the floor (don't rest all the way down). Take a deep breath in and slowly let it out. Repeat the leg extension for the other leg.
