It is a well known fact that without computers, no job is complete today. It is also a well known fact that your computer makes you stiff and inflexible. But what you may not know all that well is that you can do a mini workout right there at your desk! This applies to just about everyone who has to sit at a desk for more than two hours.
Follow the infographics for some simple stretches and keep muscle spasms and sore necks at bay. In addition to the exercises, there are a few other things to keep in mind:
Follow the infographics for some simple stretches and keep muscle spasms and sore necks at bay. In addition to the exercises, there are a few other things to keep in mind:
- Sleep well using a pillow at an appropriate height.
- Wear comfortable shoes to work - carry a change if you need to.
- Take the stairs instead of the lifts if you can.
- Sit straight in your chair - never slouch no matter how tired you are. Carry a small pillow for your back if you need to.
- Make sure you carry a small water bottle around and make it a point to finish the water ever couple of hours. Once you are finished drinking, walk to the water dispenser and fill up the bottle. This way you will be motivated to leave your seat.

- Park at a considerable distance from your building which means you will get another excuse to work those muscles before you sit behind the wheel again.
- Get up every 30 to 40 minutes from your desk to give your muscles a break. If you absolutely cannot leave your desk, then follow these at-desk workout even when you are on a very important con-call!
Remember this - nobody will worry about your fitness other than you. A few giggles from your colleagues, while doing these workouts, is way better than painful soreness in the neck that lasts for days together.
