  1. Breathing techniques: Start off with taking deep breaths all the way from your belly, avoid raising your shoulders when inhaling. Fill your lungs from the bottom to the top and then exhale from bottom to top. Do this before driving, making sure to sit in silence. And, if you’ve got kids, why not get them to join in too?
  2. Chin moves: Instead of stressing when you’re at a red light, take a short moment to exhale and turn your head towards your right shoulder, keeping your body and hands at rest. Hold a few seconds and then swing over to your left shoulder. Repeat a few times, be sure not to push yourself too hard.
  3. Bottom contractions: This sounds a bit strange. But it’s actually a really important exercise. Contract your bottom muscles, from your hips all the way to your thighs. Hold the contraction for 10-15 seconds and slowly release. Do not forget to keep the deep breathing going at the same time to enhance circulation.
  4. Tummy workout: Slowly contract muscles below ribs, hold for 10-15 seconds and release slowly. Remember to coordinate with breathing and repeat as many times as you can bear.
  5. Arm stretch: Place your right arm behind your head rest and slowly pull your elbow back and forth. Repeat on both sides before, during red lights or after a drive.
