If you are too sick to get out of bed you can practice these stretches while laying down, in bed, on your back.

– Laying on your back reach your arms up over head and flex your feet. Stretch your heels and fingertips in opposite directions.
– Hug you knees into your chest, open your arms into a T shape, twist your legs to one side, come back to center and twist your legs to the other side.
– Bend your knees and place your feet down flat close to your gluts, slide your arms down to a low V, roll up your spine from your tailbone to your upper rib cage. Release back down one vertebrae at a time from your upper rib cage to your tailbone.
– Place the soles of your feet together, let your knees open to the sides.

Practicing these laying down stretches will help alleviate sore, tired muscles. Stay well!
