stretching in the workplace

Sitting at a desk all day doesn’t sound strenuous, but it can cause the body to feel stiff and knots to form. Just like it’s important to stretch after a workout, it’s important to stretch if you’re sitting in the same position for multiple hours a day. It will help get the blood flowing, loosen up the muscles and calm the mind after a long day’s work.

For best results, perform each stretch at least once a day or twice if you have time. Hold the stretches for 20- to 30-seconds, don’t bounce the stretch, and only work within a range of motion where you feel the stretch, but not pain.
