QUICK FIXES FOR INSTANTSTRESS RELIEF

    This chapter is a lot like Mom’s chicken soup for a cold, ginger ale for an upset stomach, or a nice cold morning beer to chase away a hangover. “Hammers and Duct Tape” will provide you with some quick fixes and stop-gap measures for stress relief and joint rehabilitation. A lot of these exercises are old-school yoga positions, and some are positions I made up along the way to rehab and strengthen my body to help hold back the hands of time.
    If you have problems in a particular area of your body, back, shoulders, knees, or hips and do these exercises, I’m telling you, you will increase the strength and flexibility in that area. The complete YRG workout is
the
perfect stress relief and rehab program for your entire body, but these stress busters and joint strengtheners are what you can use when you need to isolate a specific area of the body or if you are looking to build an arsenal of de-stress smart bombs to keep you cool and focused. These can all be performed in as short a period of time as three to five minutes for instant results. We even have a section on how to rev up your heart rate for a better cardio workout.

    Breathe, Man, Breathe!!!
    This littlebreathing exercise helps you calm your mind and relax your body in a minute or less! When you breathe this way, you enable your body to fully utilize every bit of oxygen that you take in and pump it directly into your bloodstream for immediate use. Plus, you are expelling carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and other waste products very efficiently on each exhalation. This is very similar to the technique on this page , except you hold your breath on the inhalation.

STAND UPRIGHT
    Stand up in an upright position. You can also sit in a comfortable position on a chair or on the floor, or even lie on your back.

INHALE
    Inhale through your nose gently and deeply, and slowly fill your lungs, then your stomach, full of air. Again: Your stomach, your belly, and your gut push out like Santa Claus as you pull all of that air deep into your lungs and then your stomach.

HOLD BREATH
    Once you’ve filled your stomach full of air, hold the breath in for three counts without straining.

BOW AND ARROW PREP
    Kneel on your mat with your knees hip-width apart and your ass off of your knees. Curl your toes under, or if you’re more flexible, keep the tops of your feet on the
