Prolonged sitting has many ill effects, including muscle stiffness and postural issues. By improving circulation and boosting energy levels, desk workouts help counteract these problems and reduce many health risks.
Get up from your chair and then sit down. Do so a few times to improve circulation and engage the leg muscles.
Raise and drop your legs while seated to strengthen the lower abdominal muscles and loosen your tight hip flexors.
Sit up straight and twist the torso from side to side to activate your obliques and increase spinal flexibility.
Rotate your wrists clockwise and anticlockwise to improve mobility and prevent stiffness.
Rotate your ankles clockwise and anticlockwise to improve flexibility and circulation in the lower legs.
Deep, rhythmic breathing helps to reduce stress and increase oxygen flow for relaxation.
