Stand against the wall, with a tennis ball between your back and the wall. Bend your knees so you go up and down (pretend you're a bear scratching its back).

You may find that a lacrosse ball works better for tightness. I also use a golf ball sometimes.
Put the ball in a pillowcase to make it easier to keep it in place too.

I have a pair of Yoga Tuneup balls that come in a mesh bag, so you can roll them as a pair.

Agree with SA1. Depending on the tightness and your level of comfort, you might want to try a harder ball.

They are slightly bigger than softballs and are better than lacrosse balls

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.

I started working out and cleaned up my diet with the main goal being weight loss, but I'm really frustrated.

It's been a month, I feel like the effort I put in is huge and exhausting, but I haven't lost a pound, although I can see there's been a bit of muscle gain and I lost half an inch from my waist.

How do I find the motivation to keep going when I feel like the progress is so minimal?
