Desk life getting you down? Feeling stiff? No energy? Take few moments to stretch at your desk and breathe. Do you find yourself being less productive? No focus?
These are all warning signs from your body – telling you that it’s time to get up and move around.
Here are a few reasons why you should be taking stretch breaks at work:
It improves flexibility, leaving your muscles feeling less tense
It leaves you feeling refreshed and increases productivity
It helps to improve your posture, which reduces back and neck pain
Working at a desk all day is hard on the muscles, and over time it can start to take a serious toll on them> health issues can arise such as;
