If you are anything much more than Hobbit sized, the seats of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles will leave you feeling banged up, and hunched forward.
This is further amplified by the amount of time most people spend on their phones or at a desk.
Whether you are traveling for fun or for a “gig”, here are some quick exercises you can do almost anywhere to get feeling right again.
You can use the D2A resistance bands:

Hand placement is such that the thumbs are contacting the nipples.
The core is locked in an Isometric contraction through all reps, this includes the legs.
Pay close attention to the elbow, and how the elbow pits are turned forward at the top position, and there is an isometric contraction for 1sec at the top of each Rep.

With the band at eye level, and palms up; ensure that at shoulder width there is some tension on the band.
Pull the band so it comes down to your collarbone or upper chest.
As you reset the rep make sure you are maintaining some tension on the band.
