Simple Stretching Exercises At Work
After joining the office back post Covid wfh, today one of my colleagues asked me what all stretches do I do while sitting at my desk. I said “Ummmm I don’t know “. I thought he was crazy ;). but on the second thought I realized that he was right. Unknowingly, I stretch while I am working, perhaps because of boredom :P. Infact, I stretch even when I am swarmed with work. I can only blame my genetics for not being able to sit peacefully 
After this realization hit me, I pinged my colleague and told him I would analyze what all I do and get back to him.
You might not realize the importance of stretching until you start getting a back pain due to long sitting hours in office. So, Ladies and Gentlemen, prevention is better than cure and stretches are better than painkillers 
Simple Stretching Exercises At Work
P.S – These stretching exercises don’t attract attention , so don’t worry I am not asking you to do any Yoga Aasan , unless you want to 
1. Neck Movement – Tell me how you move your head when you say “No” and “yes” . Its that simple :). Move your neck up, down, left and right. Make it a habit, then you won’t need a reminder for doing it.
2. Arm stretch – I bring my arms forward with palms facing outward and stretch.
3. Back stretch – Both the hands on the back while you are sitting on your chair and stretch.
4. Shoulder shrug – Don’t tell me you don’t know how to shrug :). This will relax your shoulders.
5. Eye Blink – Ideally, you should close your eyes for 20 seconds and look away from your screen if you are sitting in front of your computer for more than half an hour. I usually close my eyes and do neck movements while I am thinking. This gives my eyes a break from UV radiations emitted by the monitor.
6. Leg stretch – While sitting on your chair, just raise your legs parallel to the floor.
See easy peasy exercises will help you to keep all kinds of pain away from you. TRY !
2 more cents – Please don’t bring coffee/tea to your desk. Walk, make use of your feet :). And take the stairs, at least while going down if not climbing up :P. We have given a list to help you maintain your weight at work here.
Happy Weekend !
