Chances are, you don’t have time to hit the gym in the middle of the workday, but never fear – here are some simple stretching exercises that you can do at your desk. These mini-workouts will give you extra energy, help you avoid stiffness and cramping throughout the day, and provide a peaceful balance that maintains good health!Shoulder roll. Sit up as straight as you can, then rolls your shoulders backwards and hold the position. Now, reach behind your lower back with both hands and lock your fingers together – stretching out your chest muscles. Next, roll your shoulders forward and stick your arms out at shoulder level. Lock your fingers together with the palms facing out. Great for the upper back!
Neck stretch. Slowly move the right part of your chin towards the right side of your collar bone and hold. Repeat with the left side of the chin and the left portion of the collar bone. Repeat both sides several times. This loosens your neck muscles.
Stretch your hamstrings. Make sure that your lower back is supported, then sit back in your chair. Cup your hands under your right knee area and slowly lift your leg up towards your chest (with the knee remaining bent). Repeat with the other leg.
Shoulder shrugs. Lift your shoulders up towards your head as if shrugging them. Hold them there for a few seconds and then relax. Repeat for 3-4 minutes.
Finger stretches. Make a tight fist and hold it for 2-3 seconds. Then, open your fingers and stretch out all your digits. This exercise works to relax the hand and finger joints.
