This is a very popular yoga movement that a lot of people know even if they don't practice yoga. You can use a light hand weight between 1 and 2 pounds or 3 for men. This exercise will help to loosen up and relax your back, your neck, and your shoulders while giving your spine an amazing stretch. It will also gently stretch out your quadricep muscles which is the large muscle on the top of your legs in the front. This will also work the tricep muscles a bit.
The Child's Pose
This is a very popular yoga movement that a lot of people know even if they don't practice yoga. You can use a light hand weight between 1 and 2 pounds or 3 for men. This exercise will help to loosen up and relax your back, your neck, and your shoulders while giving your spine an amazing stretch. It will also gently stretch out your quadricep muscles which is the large muscle on the top of your legs in the front. This will also work the tricep muscles a bit.
Because this is a gentle stretch you don't have to warm up before doing it but still be very careful.
You will need to sit down on a mat, towel, or rug. Kneel on your knees holding your weights at your sides with your palms facing backwards. Youer feet should be behind you and relaxed with the tops facing down. Spread your legs out just a bit now lower your buttocks genty restng them on your heals. If you can not go all the way go as far as you can. Do not strain this exercise should feel good it should not hurt.
Slowly lean forward, resting your upper body on your thighs and touching your forehead to the floor. Your arms should have already gone down with you automatically, your palms should be facing up now. Your goal is to place your forehead on the floor.
Tip: If it hurts at all you are pushing yourself too hard. you can try spreading your knees a little more it should help you feel better and more relaxed. Your ultimate goal is to touch your forhead to the ground.
Tip: If you have already spread out your knees a bit and you are still having trouble take a pillow or a rolled up towel and place it between your legs and your buttocks and once again try and touch your forehead to the floor.
Tip: If your knees are hurting you take a towel and fold it in to fourths and place it under your knees.
Tip: Remember you don't have to use weights. If at any time the weights seem to be causing you strain go ahead and put them down.
Now that you are in position with your forehed on the floor and palms facing up. Start to inhale as you raise your arms up. Inhale through your nose to a count of 4. Only go as far as what is comfortable to you. Remember this is a slow lift not a jerky motion. Your goal is to bring your hands just slightly above your buttocks, but just go as far as you can go. Then lower your arms as you slowly exhale through your mouth for a count of 4.
Do this exercise at least 6 times but 8 is better.

Your primary job as an Ambassador is to kick off thoughtful discussion threads around products, services. Your discussions can be on any topic in Knoji's category system. Here are some examples of the types of discussions you'll be starting:
Requests for recommendations for any type of product or service, examples:
People on Knoji ask questions seeking recommendations for products and services. We encourage our community members to answer questions whenever you can make a useful recommendation towards any request.
When pointing to specific products, please link to specific product pages on Amazon.com or Walmart.com
UPDATE: Ambassadors earn bonuses for answering questions, however - only answers which include products links (as described above) will earn bonuses.
You should include screenshots of the products you recommend (Ambassadors: you earn increased rewards when doing this)
Try to recommend products that you've had personal experience with. If not, it is acceptable to recommend products or options based on thorough research you do online.

To qualify as a working coupon, the link or code must provide a discount above and beyond what's freely available by default on the vendor's site.
To check this, first click the link and check that the coupon can be applied and does provide the discount described. Then, in a different browser, open the vendor's site (without using the Knoji link) and check whether that same discount is available to any user by default. If it's not, and the coupon works, then you've found a qualified coupon and can verify it and get your earnings. If not, you can verify that it does not work (explain why this is) and you'll earn a smaller credit.
Don't waste your time verifying invalid coupons! Before you receive payment, all your verifications will be reviewed, and if they are invalid, you earnings will be deleted. Verify only valid coupons in order to receive payment for this project.
good article thanks
