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: Bag of dog food
The trainer: John Casto, a personal trainer in Fairfax, Va.The move: Deadlift
Difficulty: Easy to medium
Place a medium-size bag of dog food on the floor and stand behind it, feet shoulder-width apart. Lower your hips so that your thighs are parallel to the floor and reach your hands to either side of the bag, getting a good grip. (Your butt will stick out quite a bit; the goal is to get your lower leg and thigh at a 90 degree angle.) Lift the bag of dog food off the ground by standing up, making sure to raise your hips and shoulders at the same time while keeping a flat back. At the end of the movement, the bag of dog food should hang in front of you, arms straight. Do three to five repetitions.
