Exercising in the Sky – You Arrive Healthier
We even jog while thousands of feet high in the air, soaring the skies in an airplane. We go to rear of the plane and stationary jog and stretch. This gives your billions of cells a massage. We never arrive stiff and tired. Also learn to take advantage of spare moments for a stationary jog daily, whether an office worker, CEO or housewife. We all need to exercise for healthy bones, a strong heart and a healthy body! Millions are traveling by air, but for people with back pain, air travel can be painful and difficult. Narrow seat widths and more seats being added to pack airplanes to capacity causes air passengers to have less leg room and a problem for those who suffer back and leg pain!
Remember to ask for a bulkhead or an exit row seat for more leg room.
