If you're too bored to workout or do any yoga, we have a perfect solution for you. Have you ever heard of the many good things that putting your legs up the wall can do to your body and health? It's actually a very easy thing to do. You simply have to put your legs up the wall and your body should be in L shape with your back on the floor.

You can of course use a yoga mat or pillow below your back and hip area to feel comfortable. The best part of this exercise is that you can do this anywhere. This exercise will help you balance the body and will also aid in receptivity. It can calm the nervous system which leads to lowered stress and anxiety.
