More Goodies

This is just noting some exercises that are easy and return a lot for a little. They seem very unique to me. As of May 2023, I only have 2 of these type EXERCISE suggestions.

The 1st SUGGESTION deals with a sitting exercise. When you find yourself obligated to a seat for a while, you might want to do a bit of this. Yields Wonderful Returns for a LITTLE EFFORT.

The 2nd SUGGESTION deals with a breathing exercise. "Doing daily breathing exercises MAY HELP LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE AS MUCH AS MEDICATION and provide other health benefits such as improved heart health and increase the amount of nitric oxide, which WIDENS YOUR ARTERIES FOR BETTER BLOOD FLOW AND LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE.”
