Simple Stretching Exercises At Work

After I returned to the office after Covid wfh, one of my colleagues asked me today what I do when I am sitting at my desk. I said "ummmm I don't know". I thought he was crazy;]. but on the second thought I realized he was right. Without knowing it, I stretch myself while working, perhaps out of boredom: P. In fact, I stretch myself even when I am inundated with work. I can only blame my genetics for the fact that I cannot sit peacefully 🙂

After this realization hit me, I pinged my colleague and told them I would analyze what I am doing and get in touch with them.

You may not realize the importance of stretching until you have back pain from sitting in the office for a long time. Ladies and gentlemen, prevention is better than cure and stretching is better than pain relievers

Simple stretches at work

P.S – These stretches don't attract attention, so don't worry, I am not asking you to do Yoga Aasan unless you want to 😉

1. Neck movement – Tell me how you move your head when you say "no" and "yes". As simple as that :]. Move your neck up, down, left, and right. Make it a habit and you don't need a reminder.

2. Arm stretch – I bring my arms forward, palms out, and straighten.

3. Stretch your back – Both hands behind your back as you sit in your chair and stretch.

4. Shrug – Don't tell me you don't know how to shrug :]. This will relax your shoulders.

5. Wink – Ideally, if you have been in front of your computer for more than half an hour, you should close your eyes for 20 seconds and look away from your screen. I usually close my eyes and move my neck while thinking. This gives my eyes a break from UV rays given off by the monitor.

6. Leg extension – While sitting in your chair, simply raise your legs parallel to the floor.

Check out simple exercises that will help keep all kinds of pain away from you. TO ATTEMPT !

2 cents more – Please do not bring coffee / tea to your desk. Go, use your feet :]. And take the stairs, at least when descending if you are not climbing: P. We have compiled a list to help you maintain your weight at work.

Happy weekend 🙂!
