While we could all do with a bit of zen-like calm in our lives, getting up at 6 a.m. to put your head between your legs after a booze night sounds far from the most comfortable awakening. To help you out, we’ve put together three easy yoga poses even your lola can do—maybe.
The tree
Great for improving coordination and balance, the tree pose also strengthens the thighs, groins, torso, and shoulders. Stand on your left foot then hold your right ankle, bringing it up into your inner left thigh. Raise your hands above your head and do your best not to fall over. Once you’ve found your balance, repeat on the other side.
The downward-facing dog
A good all-around stretch—which can apparently relieve headaches and fatigue—the downward-facing dog is yoga 101. It’s best to get into this pose from a starting position on your hands and knees, walking your hands forward as you slowly lift your bum to create an ‘A’ shape. Push against the floor with your hands and feet while exhaling 100 times, then slowly lower yourself back down.
The mountain
An easy one to finish—stand up straight and exhale as you stretch your hands over your head with your palms facing inwards. Simple. Note: FHM is not liable for any strained muscles and/or embarrassment you may experience during this exercise.

Think! “Panic is going to get a lot more people killed than zombies. When the dead rise, stay calm and use that impossible miracle called the human brain.”
Plan long-term! “A lot of people think guns are the key to surviving the apocalypse, but by week three, all those Mad Max wannabes will be on their knees giving hand jobs for raw potatoes.”

Keep the dog! “Your girlfriend’s noisy mutt might be giving you away, but if you kill it to save yourself, you’re obviously a cat person and will not be on my team.”

Get fit! “It’s never too soon to start getting fit. Even if zombies don’t take over the world, who wants to be killed by high cholesterol?”
