Exercises for internal organs

Fatigue always brings with it sluggish internal organs as the whole system is operating on minimum levels of energy. If your digestion is sluggish so will be your mental state of mind. The following exercises work on your internal organs below your rib cage to massage them and bring them to their original condition.
