Long plane rides can take a toll on our bodies. If you are like me your body tightens up and you feel "pins and needles" in your feet. From her past experiences of flying all over the world, Jade Alexis has learned how to stay loose on the plane with a mini workout and stretch routine.
"After 10 minutes into a 3 hour flight I cannot sit still! I start by doing eagle arms in my seat then I will stand by the rest room and do eagle legs" said Jade Alexis. "These poses are very easy to do. Simply hold each pose for about 20-30 seconds and repeat 4-5 times throughout your flight."
Another great exercise is calf raises, just be careful not to annoy the person next to you.
"While seated I do calf raises. Try 5 sets of 20-25 repetitions." said Jade. "This is a great way to keep your blood flowing"
Also, don't forget to stay hydrated! When flying, it is possible that you will get dehydrated. Make sure you stay away from soda, alcohol, coffee and tea with caffiene. Stick to water or tomato juice. Check out the 'Drink Fit' section on our website for more information.
