The Cow pose works on the torso as well as the neck region. It will also massage your spine and belly.

Bring your hands and knees in a tabletop position. Your knees should be bought below your hips and your wrists and elbows should be in line.
Your head should be brought in a neutral position. Keep your eyes towards the floor.
When you lift, bring your chest towards the ceiling. Your belly should sink towards the ground.
Now lift your head and look forward.
Exhale, and when you do that, bring your tabletop position on your hands and knees. Do this for around 10 to 20 times.

Stretches:

You should also do a few stretches in order to find relief. They will strengthen the muscles in your abdominals and support them as well. Just make sure you don’t over stretch as it always leads to a significant decrease in the effectiveness of strength training by almost 28 percent.

2. Side Bends:

Stand up and keep your back straight. Your feet must be placed a little apart.
Keeping your right arm down to the side, lift your left arm straight above.
Bend towards the right side, making sure you are not bending forward or backward in the process.
Stay in that position for a few seconds, and return to the first position.
Repeat the same keeping your left arm down to the side, and the right arm lifted straight above.
Do 20 repetitions on each side.
You can also perform this exercise using weights.

3. Hip Extension Stretches:

The first stethoscope

René Laennec, a French doctor and inventor was born 235 years ago today, and Google has marked his birthday with a Doodle. Dr Laennec's importance to modern medicine was guaranteed by his invention of the very first stethoscope in 1816. Here are five things you (probably) didn't know about him : 1. Dr Laennec's stethoscope bears little semblance to the modern stethoscope. Unlike those used today, Dr Laennec's stethoscope was not a set of ear pieces connected by a plastic tube to a chest piece. His stethoscopes were simple cylinders made from wood and metal. The doctor using it would simply place it directly over the area in question and listen at the other end. 2. His first stethoscope was a rolled up piece of paper Described in his 1819 treatise on this device, Dr Laennec invented the stethoscope while treating a young woman suffering from symptoms of heart disease. 3. The stethoscope was not his only contribution to medical science I...

This week, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy joined private and public sector leaders for a second annual White House roundtable discussion about the progress made and new steps taken to curb emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent greenhouse gases used in refrigeration and air conditioning. Administrator McCarthy announced several new actions the agency will take to help support a smooth transition to climate-friendly alternatives to HFCs. "EPA is working closely with industry leaders to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to climate-friendly refrigerants, and deploy advanced refrigeration technologies,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. “The powerful combination of EPA’s regulatory actions and innovations emerging from the private sector have put our country on track to significantly cut HFC use and deliver on the goals of the President’s Climate Action Plan.” Among the actions announced today, EPA proposed a rule that would improve t...
