Tips & Tricks Tuesday: Getting (and staying) limber

Stretching and light exercise is very beneficial, and certainly possible at a computer with a short break, but it’s easy to get focused and to forget to ever do it. This week’s tip, shared by milkiglo, removes that obstacle – and also suggests the possibility of taking your stretching with you with our mobile apps!

I wanted to remember to stretch routinely so I made a repeating reminder with a few YouTube links to stretching.

I have a standard ‘go to’ yoga video link, which I place in the URL field. As well, in the notes field I have several specific video links with headings like 'Back Yoga’, '20 Minutes’.

When I am ready I open the task on my device, tap stretching routine and it opens the video to follow along with. Short while later I am feeling limber and looking forward to what’s next.

Pro Tip! Throw it up on the big screen with Airplay (Apple TV and iPhone, iPad or Mac OSX 10.9) or an Android phone and Android TV dingus.
