A plane isn’t the ideal place to unwind and relax, but there are certain things you can do while sitting to make your flight a little more tolerable.
Rachel Grice, a registered yoga teacher and a contributing editor at LiveStrong says, “The healthiest way to sit on a plane is actually to avoid sitting—or at least sitting still—for as much of the flight as you can. When you are sitting, though, you want to have good posture just like you would sitting anywhere else.”
“Just like sitting at a desk, you want to take breaks to get up and move and stretch,” she says. “Walk up and down the aisle or stretch in the aisle. You don’t have to have a full-on yoga session, but a quad stretch, arms stretch, and some side bends are good options.”
