So how are you feeling after that enormous Thanksgiving meal? Not so good? If your belly is feeling less than perfect, try some of these "wind releasing" stretches (that's really what they're called).
| Nothing gets things moving along like a great spinal twist. This one is called 1-Legged Seated Spinal Twist or Marichyasana. | ![]() |
Want to see the other stretches? Then
| If you're bloated or constipated, bend both knees into your chest and give yourself a big hug. It'll help to massage your abdominal organs. | ![]() |
| You can also do this pose by alternately hugging one knee into the chest, holding for five breaths, and then switching sides. | ![]() |
Fit's Tips: Does your body need a little bit more stretching? Why not bring along a gentle yoga DVD and pop it in. Get your family members to do it along with you. It'll help you relax from the stress of traveling and also help with digestion.

If they really are "wind releasing stretches", does that mean you should do these away from other people?
Next time I'm feeling irregular, I'll give these a shot.
