1. Sit with your arms held loosely at your side and with hands resting limply in your lap. Both feet should be flat on the floor. Now breathe in through your nose of a count of five. Now hold your breath for count of three, and then exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of five. Repeat three times.
2. Sitting in the same position, raise your left shoulder to meet your left ear, tensing all the muscles of your left arm, shoulder and neck. Hold for a count of three, and then relax the muscles, letting the arm flop down. Repeat with the right arm. Perform the exercise three times, raising both shoulders together.
3. Position as before. Keeping your shoulder and neck relaxed; screw your face up as tight as possible – frowning tightening the jaw and screw up your eyes. Hold this position for the count of five, and then relax. Repeat five times.
4. Position as before, remembering to keep your shoulder and neck relaxed. Slowly, turn your head to the right and hold for a count of five, then turn it to the left and hold for a count of five. Repeat this exercise five times.
5. Finally, stand up and gently shake out arm and neck muscles and have a good stretch before continuing your work.
