Workload,
pay
problems
for board
• By Sarla Donovan
THE BANKS Peninsula
Community Board could lose
members if pay rates aren’t
increased.
A population-based funding
model means board members are
paid less than half those on citybased
boards.
Banks Peninsula board members
are paid $9527 compared
with between $22,503 and $23,742
for those in the city.
First time board member John
McLister said he won’t stand
again if the status quo remains in
place.
And others say that given the
heavy workload and low remuneration,
they would have to seriously
consider whether they put
themselves forward in the 2019
local body elections.
Currently, city council and
elected board members’ pay rates
are set by the Remuneration Authority
in Wellington.
A recent proposal to shift responsibility
for deciding pay rates
onto city councils would allow
them to better reflect community
needs and workloads.
Board chairwoman Christine
Wilson said she supported the
idea.

THERE’S trouble at t’mill.
Well on the Banks Peninsula Community
Board anyway.
On page 6 and 7 today, we reveal a
growing annoyance over the amount of
money board members are paid compared
with their counterparts in Christchurch. We also compare
the amount of time board members put in compared to their
Christchurch counterparts. And the Banks Peninsula members
definitely have a point.
Banks Peninsula members (excluding the chair, deputy chair
and councillor Andrew Turner) are paid $9527. Members of the
tion six Christchurch datE] community boards receive between $22,503-
$23,742. Pay rates are based on population but that could change
this year as the Remuneration Authority assess the formula.
The sooner it is changed the better. – Barry Clarke

Marlon Williams
doesn’t forget about home
• By Julia Evans
MARLON Williams has opened
for Bruce Springsteen, won a
Silver Scroll, and played Later
. . . with Jools Holland.
And that is only the tip of the
iceberg when it comes to the
Lyttelton songwriter’s recent
achievements.
But in the midst of
international success, the
27-year-old hasn’t forgotten
where he calls home.
In the music video for
Williams’ latest single, What’s
Chasing You, eagle-eyed people
will spot the New Brighton Pier
featured in the background.
The video, released on Friday,
was shot on South Brighton
beach by Christchurch filmmaker
Martin Sagadin. It
features a swaggering Williams
who seemingly bullies other
beach-goers with dance moves.
Said Williams of his latest
song title: “It’s an earnest
question. It’s the only thing I’ve
ever really wanted to know of
another human being. Like all
good questions, it’s childishly
simple. We all want to live
inside the fears of the ones we

empathize and let’s be honest,
compare hands. I’m not
convinced truly understanding
another’s woes would really
bring anyone happiness, but I
am a nosey boy. What’s chasing
you?”
The single is the latest release
from the now Melbournebased
songwriter’s upcoming
sophmore album Make Way for
Love, which comes out February
16. The album was written in the
wake of Williams’ break-up with
another acclaimed Lyttelton
songwriting talent Aldous
Harding.
“Then I wrote about 15 songs
in a month,” he recalled.
Harding’s vocals feature
alongside Williams on the
record’s debut single Nobody
Gets What They Want Anymore.
A song which tackles the way

the pair attempted to navigate
their separate demanding
careers until they couldn’t.
Williams spent three weeks
tucked away in the port town,
a few houses down from his
family home, with Lyttelton
producer Ben Edwards and
backing band The Yarra Benders
working on the record’s preproduction.
They then flew 12,000km to
record the album in the United
States.
Williams is following the
release of Make Way for Love
with a 50 date global tour,
including a night at The

Buskers in
our backyard
Local
News
Now
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Sarla Donovan
A LINEUP of international buskers
will be performing in Lyttelton’s
backyard on Saturday as part of the
25th World Buskers Festival.
In Albion Square from 10.30am,
there will be Sharon Mahoney from
Canada; at 11.20am, Witty Look
from Japan; 12.10pm, Kilted Colin
from the United States and at 1pm
Snap Boogie performs, also from the
US.
Festival organiser Melissa
Haberfield said it was the first time
performing in New Zealand for all
except Sharon Mahoney.
There will be festival staff onsite
giving out pocket guides for
the whole festival as well as other
giveaways.
Meanwhile, a Lyttelton busker will
once again feature in the central city
festival line-up.
Lyttelton’s famous ‘Rubber Band
Boy’ Shay Horay (left) holds the
Guinness world record for 78 bands.
The 38-year-old is back at the
festival for the 21st time and says
after 12 years of stretching rubber
bands over his face, he still loves the
routine.
Does he put them anywhere else
on his body? “I would never put a
band anywhere that potentially cause
injury.”
He claims to know more about
rubber bands than anyone else,
except the guy that makes them.
Apparently close encounters with
rubber bands help keep you looking
youthful.
“I went to see a plastic surgeon
and asked if one day I might go
from looking like a young man to an
old man overnight. Would my face
suddenly sag? He informed me that
these weekly events are very good
for the face. It’s the same as getting
a facial massage, it keeps the skin
flexible and should theoretically
prevent wrinkles.”
He loves what he does. “Being
self-employed for the last 20 years;
travelling the world....why would
I want to change that?” You can
catch Shay Horay in the central
city performing Rubberband Boy’s
Greatest Hits, ‘The One Man Band’
- a musical instrument powered
by you guessed it a rubberband - a
pogostick escape that will blow your
mind and of course the routine that
has made him famous worldwide.
IN TOWN: Kilted Colin and
Snap Boogie will perform in
Lyttelton on Saturday.

Dispute looming over pay for
Fire rages, homes at risk
The Remuneration
Authority will decide
if Banks Peninsula
Community Board
members will be
paid the same as
their Christchurch
counterparts. If they
don’t get equal
pay there could be
departures. Sarla
Donovan reports
FIRST-TIME BANKS Peninsula
Community Board member
John McLister is a busy man.
A father of two young children,
he fits his board responsibilities
around a full-time job
and also chairs the Lyttelton Seafarers
Centre Charitable Trust.
Before standing for the board
in the 2016 local body elections,
he had coached all the junior
rugby teams in Diamond Harbour.
So he’s not without community
spirit.
But just over a year into his
role with the board, Mr McLister
is calling out a “stupid system”
of remuneration which assumes
Banks Peninsula Community
Board work is less than that
required in town.
It is a wrong assumption,
he said, but one he claims the
Remuneration Authority refuses
to alter.
The city council has raised
concerns over the way
community board members’
pay was determined
by population, rather than
workload, but Mr McLister
said the authority had
told him it wouldn’t be
changing the populationbased
formula, even
though it is considering
other changes.
Pay rates for the mayor, city
councillors and community
board members are currently set
Jed
O’Donoghue
TAKING A STAND: John McLister won’t stand again for the Banks Peninsula Community Board
unless the pay rate is increased.
by the Remuneration Authority
using a population-based model,
so boards in areas with bigger
populations get better remuneration.
It means Banks Peninsula’s
ordinary board members
– excluding the chair,
deputy chair and city
councillors – receive
$9527 a year. That is less
than half the $22,503-
$23,742 paid to members
of the six city boards.
Banks Peninsula
Community Board chairwoman
Christine Wilson
is paid $19,056, while the
other board chairs earn between
$45,006-$47,484.
“That’s all fine if the workload
of our board is half those of
the boards in town,” said Mr
McLister. “But it isn’t. Our meetings
are as long as theirs, we
travel more, and have more local
community association meetings
to attend. On any measure, our
board works as hard as
any board in the city.”
His argument has
stemmed from figures
showing big variations
in the length of community
board meetings,
with Banks Peninsula
having some of the longest
and Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
some
of the shortest. Last year, one of
the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
meetings, which are held
Felix Dawson
fortnightly, lasted just 4min.
Now the Remuneration
Authority is proposing to shift
responsibility for deciding
councillors and elected board
members’ pay onto city councils
to better reflect community
needs and workloads.
But a submission on the
plan, put together by city
council staff after feedback
from community board
members and city councillors,
said it is not in favour
of the plan.
“Councils deciding on
councillor and community
board remuneration would
be problematic and have the
possibility to cause unnecessary
tension,” the submission said.
A random five-month
comparison of last
year’s Banks Peninsula
Community Board
meetings with city-based
board, Fendalton-
Waimairi-Harewood,

Mr McLister said he won’t
stand in those elections if remuneration
is not improved.
“It is not just a question of
money. I want to see a fair deal
for anyone standing for our

remuneration attracts talented
people from a wide spectrum
of society. I don’t want to be
elected because no one else will
stand. That’s not democracy.”

He said a mechanism was
needed to either improve remuneration
or reduce the board’s
workload.
“The mayor has said she
wants to delegate more authority
to boards, but to a board like
ours that is already working far
beyond the remuneration that
we get; why would you delegate
to us? We have been delegated
responsibility
for the Naval
Point development,
for instance,
which is
a huge thing.”
Ms Wilson
said she didn’t

Richardson
think population

fair way to
determine pay
rates and she
supported the Remuneration
Authority’s proposed changes.
She said it was too soon to say
whether she would stand again,
but the level of remuneration
would not affect her decision,
“as this is something I was
aware of going in to this term”.
Banks Peninsula Community
Board deputy chairwoman Pam
Richardson said as the former
chairwoman of the Akaroa-
Wairewa Community Board,
she had gone “from a high rate
to a low rate” and she would
“seriously have to consider”
whether to stand again next
time.
Board member Janis Haley
said remuneration wouldn’t
have any bearing on her
decision to stand again, but it
might put others off, especially
younger candidates. “I don’t
think it’s democratic.”
Board member Jed
O’Donoghue said remuneration
wouldn’t be his only consideration,
but he was finding the
time commitment challenging.

driver for KiwiRail, last year he

fortnightly seminars and meetings,
which took an average of
eight hours.
“Unless people get paid a
decent day’s wage so they can
take leave without pay, it’s more
or less pushing democracy to either
the wealthy or the retired,”
said Mr O’Donoghue.
Board member Tori Peden
said she was undecided if she
would put up her hand for a
second term. She said although
she enjoyed the work, nobody
on the board realised how heavy
the workload would be.
“The board have told the authority
and the city council that,
should remuneration remain
what it is, we don’t think anyone
would stand (in 2019).”
Board member Felix Dawson
is self-employed and said it was
a “financial stretch” to lose a
day a fortnight. He said the
lower pay for Banks Peninsula
board members was unfair. “I
can’t see how any reasonable
person would think it’s
anything but.”

•Former Lyttelton-Mt Herbert board chairwoman Paula

Fire rages, homes at risk
Taylors
Mistake
blaze
concerns

THE SUMNER Volunteer Fire
Brigade was called to a large bonfire
in the Taylors Mistake car park in
the early hours of Sunday morning.
The fire – which was close to vegetation
– was spotted by a resident.
Chief fire officer Daryl Sayer said
it was concerning as Christchurch
is still in a restricted fire season and
open air fires must not be lit without
a permit.
It comes as recent rain has eased
the fire risk across Banks Peninsula,
but authorities say it will only take a
few hot nor’westerly days to push it
up again.
“There is still a lot of summer
to go and conditions can change
quickly,’’ said Darrin Woods,
principal rural fire officer for the
Christchurch/Selwyn Rural Fire
District.
“If we get a return to the kind of
weather we had before Christmas
when temperatures were routinely
in the high 20s and early 30s, the
countryside will very quickly dry
out, escalating the fire risk.
“It is important people report any
fires or smoke to 111 immediately.
We’re also asking that on hot days,
particularly when it’s windy, people
take extreme care when doing any
activities that may produce sparks
such as grinding, welding or even
mowing laws on stony ground,’’ said
Mr Woods.
A restricted fire season has been
in place across the region since the
start of December. This means people
must apply for a permit if they
want to light a fire in open air.
Anyone who lights a fire without
a permit can expect a visit from
Fire and Emergency New Zealand.
They will extinguish any fire that
does not meet the conditions of the
restricted fire season.

Upper South Island travel guide
PLAN YOUR JOURNEY – PICTON TO CHRISTCHURCH
State Highway 1 (SH1) north of Kaikōura opened to daytime traffic
in December, restoring the coastal highway link from Picton to Christchurch.
The re-opening of SH1 gives people two viable options for travel around the
upper South Island, with the alternate route (via state highways 63, 6, 65 and 7
through Lewis Pass) remaining a reliable 24/7 option.
IMPORTANT BEFORE YOU TRAVEL
Check routes are open and
get estimated travel times.
For real-time travel information
visit www.nzta.govt.nz/p2c
or freephone 0800 4 HIGHWAYS
(0800 44 44 49).
Make sure you allow enough time for your journey,
whichever route you chose. Unexpected events, such as a crash,
high volumes of traffic, ongoing wet weather or seismic activity,
can cause delays. Ongoing roadworks and reduced speed limits
in places mean that it won’t be possible for you to make up time.
Be prepared with food, water and a fully charged cell phone.

Do not rely on your GPS or Google Maps -
things can change at short notice.
WHAT TO EXPECT ON SH1
Parts of the road will still be under construction, so there will be some
unsealed sections, lane closures with Stop/Go controls and speed restrictions.
There will be night closures (8.30pm – 7am) north of Kaikōura between
Clarence and Mangamaunu, and between Goose Bay and Peketa in the south.
Closure points will be monitored 24/7.
Consider road closure hours before starting your trip and leave enough
time to be clear of these sections so you can continue your journey.
The opening hours are subject to adverse weather and seismic activity. If there
is a lot of rain or another significant event, we may have to close the road for
short periods of time.
It’s important to remember the safety of those using the highway, and
working on it, will always be our top priority.
WORK HAS RAMPED UP IN JANUARY
CHRISTCHURCH
Following the road opening on 15 December, most of the work sites closed down to help
with traffic flow over the busy Christmas period.
The work programme is now back in full delivery which will have a significant effect
on the coastal corridor.
NZ Transport Agency Journey Manager Tresca Forrester says ‘It’s a balancing act to
schedule the reinstatement work to have a minimal effect on travel time while also
ensuring the work gets done. Drivers should now expect it to take at least 5 ½ to 6 hours
to drive between Picton and Christchurch on SH1 but should allow plenty of extra time
in case of delays. Check www.nzta.govt.nz/p2c for the latest information.’

(0800 44 44 49)
BE ROAD COURTEOUS
• No stopping on SH1 within the closure areas
outside of designated stop bays.
• Be patient and cautious. Road conditions
will be unfamiliar to many drivers,
so a little bit of patience will go a long way.
• Follow all traffic signs and any instruction
given by road crew.
• Obey speed limits to keep all road users safe.
• Stay focused around rail lines. Expect trains
at any time.
• Keep fresh by taking breaks and supporting
communities on the route.

F45 8 WEEK CHALLENGE
29 January – 25 March
Ferrymead,
Christchurch
and Wigram
Ferrymead fitness centre
offers innovative programme
Located in the recently opened
commercial premises on the corner of Ferry
Road and Waterman Place Ferrymead,
the F45 Training Ferrymead gym offers
an innovative fitness programme that is
creating waves around the world.
Developed in Sydney by Rob Deutsch, a
former equities trader, F45, or Functional
45 minutes, is a team-based HIIT (highintensity
interval training) workout protocol
that focuses on motivation, innovation and
results.
Franchise owner Marcin Miroslaw, who
also has F45 franchises in the central city
(the first in the South Island) and Wigram
(opening on January 27), says one of the
key advantages of the F45 concept is that
participants don’t need to think about what
they have to do when they come to the gym
for a workout.
“The programme is all laid out for
members and there are two personal
trainers at each class, who correct people’s
technique, motivate and encourage them,
plus there’s the music designed by one of
the world’s top DJs to keep them pumped,”
Marcin says.
Over the 45-minute programme,
participants proceed round the circuit doing
short bursts of exercise, with shorter breaks
in between. Circuit styles are different every
day and there are more than 30 different
workouts, combining elements of HIIT,
Circuit Training, and Functional Training.
This combination of interval, cardiovascular
and strength training has been proven to
be the most effective workout method for
burning fat and building lean muscle.
“It’s enjoyable, and it brings results,”
Marcin says.
“Workouts change daily and are never
repeated, and all the workouts are tested by
the F45 Athletic department to optimise the
results and experience of the participants.”
F45 offers several membership options, but
most people opt for the month-on-month
membership, with 28 days’ cancellation
notice, he says.
“Members have unlimited access to all
classes and there is no joining or cancellation
fee.”
A big part of the F45 programme is the
eight-week challenge. Run four times a year,
it is a fantastic way to help people lose weight
and reach their fitness goals, Marcin says.
“The F45 eight-week challenge also
includes nutritional support, shopping
lists, recipes and daily meal plans and goal
tracking, which helps people achieve their
weight loss goals in a much healthier way
than going on diets. The next eight-week
challenge starts on January 29.
“F45 has been established in more than
30 countries around the world, and since
coming to New Zealand, it has really taken
off here. It’s different from other gyms
as it is a big part of the community, with
involvement in social events and members
feeling that they are part of a team.
“We offer a two-weeks free trial, which
lets everyone experience F45 and most of
our classes. The two-week pass is available
through our website.”
F45 Training Ferrymead is located at
Unit 4, 1 Waterman Place. New members
welcome. Check out their website

Road ‘madness’ fuels call-outs
There was bit of madness on the road, but fire
call-outs were surprisingly quiet, given the dry
conditions. Sarla Donovan does a round up of how
fire stations in the bays area fared over the holiday
period
THE AKAROA Fire Brigade
was quiet between Christmas
and New Year but since then it
had “gone crazy”, said chief fire
officer Mark Thomson, with
about five call-outs last week to
motor vehicle accidents.
There has been two
fatal accidents within
the past four weeks.
Motor vehicle accidents
were on the increase
as a proportion
of the brigade’s work.
Poor judgement, lack
of knowledge about
road rules, impatience
and increasing volumes
of traffic could all be
contributing factors,
said Mr Thomson.
Only two fire call-outs had
been taken over the holiday period,
one a bonfire lit by campers
trying to stay warm.
“Everybody’s so aware of the
risks since the Port Hills fires.”
The number of call-outs had
been about normal for the holiday
period in Little River.
There was “plenty of madness
on the road, but luckily we didn’t
have too much to do”, said Little
River chief fire officer David
Irving.
Motor vehicle incidents made
up a third of Little River’s 99
call-outs last year, with fire and
medical events each making up
a third.
The prospect of two new fire
trucks arriving mid-year was
something to look forward to,
said Mr Irving.
“We’ve probably got enough
funding for our new support
vehicle as well, which is due for
replacement, so it could be a big
year for us vehicle-wise.”
Sumner Fire Brigade chief fire
Mark Thomson
officer Daryl Sayer said it had
five call-outs between Christmas
Day and January 11.
None were serious, he said,
adding that it was pleasing to
see people were letting off fewer
fireworks than normal.
The brigade had 88
call-outs during the
year.
Governors Bay chief
fire officer Andrew Norris
said 2017 had been
busier than usual with
118 call-outs between
January 1 and December
31.
The station averaged
about 70 call-outs a year.
Much of that increase
could be put down to the Port
Hills fires in February, Mr Norris
said.
It had also been a busy period
since Christmas Day with seven
call-outs to January 11.
Three were motor vehicle accidents,
including a fatal crash
on Dyers Pass Rd.
Two were “smoke chasers”
– calls reporting sightings of
smoke which turned out to be
CRASH: The Akaroa Fire Brigade attended multiple vehicle accidents since New Year’s Day,
including the crash above on January 5, in which no one was injured.
clouds or dust. One call was
about a tree that came down
in strong wind and one was a
false alarm at the Governors Bay
Hotel caused by water.
Diamond Harbour chief fire
officer Bob Palmer said the station
had been relatively quiet
with no fire calls since Christmas
Day, though there had been

the Firefighter Sky Tower Stair
Challenge in May.
“a few medical calls as usual”.
Recent rain had dampened
tinder dry conditions and, on the
whole, people were
“pretty fire wise
these days”, he said.
Call numbers were
slightly down on the
average 100 for the
year.
Lyttelton Fire Brigade
chief fire officer
Mark Buckley said it
had been quiet over
the holiday period
with only two or
three minor calls.
The station fielded 118 callouts
over the course of the year,
on a par with previous years.
“The usual average is between
110-130. It can be higher or
lower, depending on weather
and seismic events.” He
said about seven brigade
volunteers were starting
to train for the annual
Firefighter Sky Tower Stair
Challenge in Auckland in
May, a national fundraiser
for leukaemia and Blood
Cancer New Zealand.
About 150 brigades take
part, and Lyttelton was
usually in the top two for funds
raised, Mr Buckley said, averaging
about $15,000.
“We’re really proud of our guys
that participate in that. We’ve
got about three members within
the team that are very passionate
about what they’re fundraising
for. They’re very diligent – every
Saturday they’re along at the Lyttelton
Farmers’ Market shaking
the bucket.”

YOUNG GUN: Ava Henderson (above left) won her first national title in Gisborne in the under-14 girls category, while her mum Donna won her second national title
in the women’s over 40.
Mother, daughter win on the waves
• By Gordon FIndlater
A TRIO of local surfers have
returned home with titles after
competing at the national
surfing championship at
Makorori Beach, Gisborne, last
week.
Taylors Mistake mother and
daughter, Donna and Ava Henderson,
had the perfect family
vacation by both claiming gold
medals.
Donna won the women’s over
40 title with a score of 10.2 in
the final. She also finished third
in the longboard category. Her
daughter Ava, 12, took out her
first national title by winning
the girls under-14 section with
a score of 13.7 to finish ahead of
Levin’s Natasha Gouldsbury and
Piha’s Liv Haysom.
More impressively, Ava also
competed in the girls under-16
against much older opposition
where she held her own. She
posted the top score of 12.4 in
the heats before being eliminated
at the semi-final stage.
Donna is the founder of the
Christchurch School of Surf at
Sumner Beach.
She has been surfing since
her early 20s and won her first
national title at the age of 42 in
2017. Ava on the other hand has
now already claimed her first
national crown at just 12-yearsold.
Redcliffs resident Lucy Te
Moananui also claimed a title in
Gisborne in the women’s over 30
category.
She also finished third in the
women’s stand up paddleboard
final with a score of 9.97 behind
Stella Smith from Gisborne
and Alexis Poulter from Waihi.
Te Moananui also made it
to the semi-final stage in the
longboard.
There was also success for
Estella Hungerford, who finished
second in the women’s longboard
with a score of 6.83, behind
Auckland’s Sasha Brownlie.
Hungerford also finished fourth
in the girls under-16 final by
scoring 7.17.
RIPPING INTO IT: Estella Hungerford (left) finished second in
the women’s longboard and fourth in the under-16 girls. Lucy
Te Moananui won the women’s over 30 category and finished
third in the SUP.

A letter to our community.
Thank you to our wonderful staff and to all those helping us following the recent devastating fire
at the GELITA NZ plant in Woolston, Christchurch.
There were four people on site at the time of the fire and fortunately no one was hurt.
The fire has caused major structural and electrical damage, primarily in our processing area, and
the food manufacturing areas of the plant. Our first job is to clean up, now that the fire and
insurance investigators have given us the go ahead.
The clean-up operation will include the removal of partially processed beef hide from the site over
the next three or so weeks. During the removal, there will unfortunately be increased odours at
some stages of the day.
We are keenly aware of our near neighbours and will work very hard to keep the impact to an
absolute minimum. Despite our best efforts, we expect that there will be spikes in odour while the
partly processed material is treated and removed. It’s a huge job.
But, once the material is removed, the source of the odour will have been eliminated.
We are grateful for your patience and understanding while we undertake this work and we
apologise for any short-term effect this may have on our local community.
GELITA NZ takes beef hide, a by-product from meat works, extracts the collagen, and turns it into
gelatine powder for use in a broad range of industries including the food, beverage, health and
pharmaceutical sectors.
While the fire has been a major setback for GELITA NZ, the plant was fully insured and our parent
company has established a support team in Germany to help us through this period of uncertainty.
Our customers are being serviced by the wider GELITA group while we plan for our future.
We remain positive. GELITA NZ employs 60 staff and a further 300 indirectly. About three-quarters
of our high quality gelatine is sent overseas.
There is no doubt that we face a difficult period but we will continue to work hard for our future.

soaked in sun, enjoys fabulous views.
The home has been quality built, with
an architectural appeal that will ideally suit

those who chose to work from home, or
simply love to entertain.
Generous open plan kitchen and dining

dominates the first level and open to a deck
that provides the ideal spot to soak in the view
and relax with a wine or good book after a

Stretch
your way back to it
As we return to our normal daily routines after the holidays you
may begin to find the odd ache or pain creeping in.
This is a good indicator from our
bodies, that the holiday routine
was somewhat different. Perhaps
you sit a lot for work and you
were on the go or, you are normally more
active and the holiday break was more
sedentary. Either way the sooner you pay
attention to these signals the easier it will
be to deal with it.
So what can you do to ward off pain
and stiffness and boost your energy and
alertness? 10 simple stretching exercises
at your desk that will release tension from
head to toe. They take only a few minutes.
Set the alarm on your cell phone or
computer to go off every hour to remind
you it’s time to get up and stretch.
Just stand up and sit down - no hands
If you stand up and sit down (over and
over) without using your hands it can be a
challenge, do it while you’re on the phone;
no one will know.
Shrug your shoulders - to release the neck and shoulders
Inhale deeply and shrug your shoulders,
lifting them high up to your ears. Hold.
Release and drop. Repeat three times.
Loosen the hands with air circles
Clench both fists, stretching both hands
out in front of you.
Make circles in the air, first in one direction,
to the count of ten. Then reverse the circles.
Shake out the hands.
Point your fingers - good for hands, wrist, and forearms
Stretch your left hand out in front of you,
pointing fingers toward the floor. Use your
right hand to increase the stretch, pushing
your fingers down and toward the body.
Be gentle do the same with the other hand.
Now stretch your left hand out straight
in front, wrist bent, with fingers pointing
skyward. Use your right hand to increase
the stretch, pulling the fingers back toward
your body. Do the same on the other side.
Release the upper body with a torso twist
Inhale and as you exhale, turn to the right
and grab the back of your chair with your
right hand, and grab the arm of the chair
with your left. With eyes level, use your
grasp on the chair to help twist your torso
around as far to the back of the room as
possible. Hold the twist and let your eyes
continue the stretch see how far around
the room you can peer. Slowly come back
to facing forward. Repeat on the other side.
Do leg extensions
Grab the seat of your chair to brace yourself
and extend your legs straight out in front of
you so they are parallel to the floor.Flex and
point your toes five times. Release. Repeat.
Stretch your back with a “big hug”
Hug your body, placing the right hand on
your left shoulder and the left hand on your
right shoulder. Breathe in and out, releasing
the area between your shoulder blades.
Cross your arms - for the shoulders and upper back
Extend one arm out straight in front of you.
With the other hand, grab the elbow of the
outstretched arm and pull it across your
chest, stretching your shoulder and upper
back muscles. Hold. Release. Stretch out the
other arm in front of you - repeat.
Stretch your back and shoulders with a “leg hug”
Sit on the edge of your chair (if it has
wheels, wedge the chair against the desk or
wall to make sure it does not roll). Put your
feet together, flat on the floor.
Lean over, chest to knees, letting your arms
dangle loosely to the floor. Release your
neck. Now bring your hands behind your
legs, right hand grasping left wrist, forearm
(or elbow if you can reach that far), left hand
grasping the right. Feel the stretch in your
back, shoulders and neck. Hold. Release
your hands to the floor again. Repeat three
times or as often as it feels good.
Look up to release upper body
Sit up tall in your chair, or stand up. Stretch
your arms overhead and interlock your
fingers. Turn the palms to the ceiling as
you lift your chin up, tilt your head back,
and gaze up at the ceiling, too. Inhale,
exhale, release.
