These are static stretches suitable for people of all ages. They
are done sitting on a sturdy straight chair that you have placed
on a carpet. Hold each position six seconds by counting 1001, 1002,
etc. Then relax. Repeat each exercise the five times. You will find
these exercises will relax muscle tension and strain caused by sitting
in one place for a long time.
