Making long distance car trips easy on your body, revisited!

After just returning from a 1000 mile car trip it seems appropriate to repost this.

Driving for long distances or long trips can be hard on your body.

The best thing you can do when driving or riding in a car for a long trip is to stop often and get out of the car so you can stretch and move. Walk around the car, stretch for a minute, move your body. If riding on an Interstate, stop at most rest areas even if you don’t need to use the restroom and move! The few minutes it takes to do this will be amply rewarded by how good you feel when you get to where you are going.
