Tips And Steps

Strengthening exercises make the muscles stronger. Weight-lifting comes to mind when thinking of strength, but you don't have to lift hundreds of pounds to develop strong muscles. "Strength" in this context refers to the ability of a muscle to perform work, not to the size or bulk of a muscle. No time? No motivation? No equipment? Stretching and strengthening exercises on the chair, chosen with the sedentary worker in mind, is simple, takes only a few minutes and could be performed right at your desk.

Even though you work at your desk for seven hours each day, there are a few ways to keep your legs, arms and abdominal toned. First of all, you can set an alarm on your computer to remind you to stretch or do a quick exercise six or seven times each day. Every hour would be ideal.

Make sure you are sitting on a high-quality chair. Remember to sit tall, maintaining a natural curve to your lower back.

We also present some yoga-based exercises which you can do in the office during the course of the day to help prevent a few common injuries like carpal tunnel and repetitive stress injuries. The most important part of each exercise is to become aware of your body and your breath.
