Today I did 3 rounds of finger stretches. My fingers were achy before, but they feel a lot more relaxed now. I will do this every day!

Gave the Seated Neck Glides a shot during my lunch break. Ten reps later the headache I usually get from hunching over my laptop just… lifted. Felt good enough to skip the Tylenol and finish the day pain-free!

I had a hard time standing today. Finally decided to do some supported squats. I did them three times this week, and I can already start to feel more stable on my feet!
