Stressed Out? Here's Your New Workout
When you're stressed, the last thing you want to do is exercise. But these 11 easy moves will help you feel better fast
The equipment: Old nylons or tights The trainer: Mariana Abeid-McDougall, a personal trainer in Ontario, Canada, and co-owner of Two Sister Fitness
The move: Seated row
Difficulty: Medium
Sit on the floor with your legs straight, back upright, shoulders squarely in front of you. Place your old, holey tights or nylons around your feet, holding an end in each hand (keep the legs of the tights together, so you'll be holding the control top of your tights in one hand and the feet of your tights in another). Keep your elbows close to your sides as you pull each end of the tights back, squeezing your shoulder blades together. Return to the start and repeat 10 times, working up to 15 (or until complete muscle fatigue).
