Start by lying down on a comfortable surface with a pillow under your head.
Place your feet on a chair, the edge of a couch, or a stool.

Take a short break.
Repeat for three sets.
Many people over 60 find this “Z-line” position helpful because it not only helps with circulation but also relaxes your spine.
