\non the topic of simple exercises and pain relief, i highly recommend yoga stretches. it's a slight time investment, but it pays off. since i started doing yoga for about 20-60 minutes almost daily, i have felt noticeable improvements in flexibility, strength, coordination, and feeling of fitness. and i no longer have any hint of the various spot pains i occasionally experienced in my muscles and joints. without a doubt, i'm also protecting myself from some future injury and illness.\n

\nyoga stretches are really straightforward, are easy to learn well from the Web, require no particular space or equipment (although a mat helps), and take exactly as much time as you happen to have. you can readily gauge your progress by how well you perform each pose and how long you can hold it. and it's quite habit-forming, especially if you have a space in your home that you associate with it, and doubly so if you live with someone who also does it.", "timestamp": 1317139327}, {"author": "Kali", "source_link": "https://www.facebook.com/jefftk/posts/283639431654159?comment_id=283682544983181", "anchor": "fb-283682544983181", "service": "fb", "text": "I like Vibrams.", "timestamp": "1317141268"}, {"author": "Jeff Kaufman", "source_link": "https://plus.google.com/103013777355236494008", "anchor": "gp-1317141454111", "service": "gp", "text": "@Ivan\n I'd ordered a pair of fivefingers for the cold, but they were too small for me [1].

\nI did yoga as my school sport one year in highschool. I didn't like it much then, but I might like it more now.\n
