Freedom is never free. In honor of Veterans Day, we remember those who served so that Americans could live, speak, and think freely. A free press is one of the liberties they defended, and one The Epoch Times never takes for granted.

26 years ago, The Epoch Times was born in the United States out of a great need to tell the truth about a human rights crisis in China. And 24 years later, we became the 4th largest newspaper in America by subscriber count.

Our success is deeply rooted in our commitment to truth and clarity.

We serve the public through impartial, independent, and rigorous reporting. We tell stories that highlight timeless values from history, and stories that honor the best of humanity. Many readers have told us—we bring people hope.

As we celebrate the holiday, we’re offering a special rate: full access to The Epoch Times for just $0.25 a week for 6 months!

Make the most of this opportunity. We cordially invite you!

Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes
The children’s exercise song “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes” makes a great office exercise in modified form. This compound exercise involves up-and-down movements against gravity and a great deal of joint mobility from, well, your head to your toes.

Practice Tip: Keep your back straight as you reach to your knees and toes, and bend your knees to get them involved in the crouching movement.

Step 1: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and arms by your sides.
Step 2: Bring both arms up to touch the upper backside of your head with your hands while keeping your elbows out to the sides.
Step 3: Reach farther down and touch your shoulder blades as far down as you can.
Step 4: Squat slightly and bring your hands to touch both knees and then your toes before returning to standing. Doing all four stages counts as one repetition. Try to complete three sets of 12 repetitions.
