Do you sit the majority of the time at work or at home? If you work in an office, chances are you do.
Do you ever feel back discomfort from sitting too long? How about stiffness in your neck, shoulders, legs, and even arms and wrists from being on the computer all day?
We’re all very busy, and it’s easy to forget to get up and move. But if you’ll take a few quick stretch breaks during the day, your body will thank you. It’s well worth the time, for your body, mind and spirit. See additional tips here for moving more at work.
Here’s a quick stretching routine I’ve created that targets the areas that we typically feel discomfort in after working at a desk for long periods. Give it a try!
TIP: Set a daily calendar alert on your mobile device or computer, to remind you to get up and stretch. Remember to bookmark this page so you can easily do this routine from your office or home!
