When you travel, you likely spend hours seated in the car or on an airplane, which can lead to stiffness in your muscles and joints.

Stretching like you do before and after exercise likewise helps before and after you travel.

Here are a few other ways you can prevent feeling sore by the time you reach your destination.

Traveling By Plane

• Check your heavy bags.
• Stand up straight before you sit down and feel the “S” curve of your spine. Fill in that curve with pillows or blankets when you sit back down.
• Switch up your sitting position to improve circulation.
• Massage your legs and calves periodically.

Traveling By Car

• If possible sit with your knees slightly higher than your hips.
• Use back support to reduce lower back strain and pain.
• Loosen your grip on the steering wheel.
• Take breaks to stretch.
• Vary your focal point while keeping your eyes on the road.
• Adjust your seat periodically.
