Get Up

Don’t forget to get up every once in a while in order to stretch your back and legs. Taking a short walk around the office at least once or twice in an hour is a must for people who work desk jobs.

Adjust Your Workspace

In order to prevent back pain or injuries, you should optimize your workspace as much as you can. Make sure you don’t have to bend forward in order to read, write, or type on the keyboard and that the top of your monitor is at eye level.

]]> When so many of us have to spend our days tied to a desk in the office, it’s not always easy to stay active and mobile. Sitting for long periods of time can cause our muscles to tighten and our joints to stiffen. Here are three of the best exercises that you can do at your desk to stay feeling calm and refreshed.

Segmented Cat-Cow

This exercise is designed to increase the mobility and flexibility of your lower and upper back. When seated in your chair, gently push your stomach forward and extend your lower back gradually so that you curve your spine one vertebrae at a time. Bend your neck back and lift your chest so that you are looking at the ceiling. You should feel this gently stretching your back muscles.

Even amidst all of the seriousness in life right now, it is extremely important to find ways to be grateful, to move our bodies, and to laugh – hence my ridiculous looking faces at the beginning and end of this video. … SEATED CAT/COW (🐈/🐄) VARIATION Come to a seated position in the middle of your chair. Sit up nice and tall with your chin tucked just slightly encouraging the ears to come in line with the shoulders. When you are ready to begin, bring the arms into a cactus (🌵) shape. Elbows and shoulders should be in one line with the elbow bent at 90 degrees palms or fists facing forward. On your next EXHALE, round the upper back, dropping the chin to the chest, and drawing the arms forward to center (maybe forearms touch). [Cat pose] On the INHALE, open the arms out wide, bringing the shoulder blades to meet the spine, puff out the chest, and lift the gaze to look skyward. [Cow pose] Repeat this movement, flexing and extending the back while opening and closing the arms 5x following the cycles of the breath. Then return to a neutral spine and allow the arms to return to the side of the body. … #seatedcatcow #yoga #yogaposevariation #yogapose #athomeyoga #yogaatwork #heartopener #cactusarms #flexion #extension #catcow #yogavideo #instagramyoga #moveyourbody #yogaforeverybody #uplyftyoga #uplyftwellness #laughteristhebestmedicine #smile #thistooshallpass

Diaphragm Breathing

Diaphragm breathing decreases muscle tension and relaxes your nervous system. Place one hand on your chest and one on your stomach. Feel your diaphragm expand and contract as you breathe in for four seconds, and out for four seconds. Repeat this five times and feel the nervous tension leave your body.

Wrist Rotations

One of the areas that often become inflamed due to high tension is the wrists. They can make the whole body feel taut and uncomfortable. To release this tension, take your right forearm in your left hand. Then rotate your wrist first clockwise, then anticlockwise. After you have done this, repeat with your other wrist.
