Snakes S-t-r-e-t-c-h

In Zachary Shapiro's We're All in the SAME BOAT, the snakes felt squished, then learned to s-t-r-e-t-c-h!  S-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g helps you create space in your body and keeps your muscles flexible, strong, and healthy!  Flexibility is often a neglected part of overall health.  Here's a way to gently stretch your back: Lie on your belly, keep the face looking to the ground, and place your hands by your side body.  Gently squeeze the muscles in the back to lift the upper body.  Try not to force the stretch by pressing your weight into the hands, let your back do the work! If your snake would like "rattles," alternately bend the knees and slap the tops of the feet into the ground.🐍 When you pretend to be a ssss-nake, you ssss-tretch the muscles in your chest, ssss-houlders, and tummy.  You ssss-trengthen your arms, ssss-houlders, and bum.  It also increases your body's flexibility and elevates your mood! When you're feeling ssss-quished, give it a try! #mrsbroamhats #mrsbroamMOVES #mrsbroamREADS
