stretch before you cookYou should stretch and do some breathing exercises before cooking. Just like everything you do in life you always should prepare your mind and body before beginning. Stretching and breathing exercises help you to focus, and stand on your feet for a longer time.

Reach for the sky. When you reach for the sky what you are really doing is stretching your arms up and out.

Then bend down as though you are picking up star dust that fell to on your kitchen floor.

Always bend and stretch from your top of your legs, not from your back. By doing it this way you get a better stretch for your body.

Quick tip on breathing: before you cook inhale, breathe deep and feel your breath going through your whole body, then let your breath out. Do this a couple of times. This also helps you focus, loosen you up and again, help you to stand for a longer time to make your meals. Do these exercises especially when you are feeling tired but haven’t finished making your wonderful food.

Stretching and breathing it helps you to finish what you started.
