Everybody’s body is important, and just like it is important to exercise, stand more, and eat right, it’s also important to stretch. If a certain songstress was here she would add, “Don’t stop. Make it pop.” That’s why Cosmopolitan crafted the blog post titled, “Stretches You Need to Do if You Sit at a Desk All Day.” So get out your yoga mat because, it’s goen down. I’m getten’ limber! You better move, I gotta stretch.
Cosmopolitan helpfully calls out four different stretches that are beneficial for people who spend a majority of their day in a chair. I’m looking at you office workers, gamers, and people who don’t have an Evodesk standing desk. And with over 142,000 shares, people are paying attention. Yoga instructor Hilaria Baldwin illustrates these four stretches designed to stretch your neck, shoulders, arms, hip flexors and your back.
See this infographic with step-by-step instructions on how to achieve these ideal poses for people who stand a lot: eagle wrap, cat and cow, forward bend, and low lunge. Or even better, click through to watch the gifs in motion.
Thanks again Cosmopolitan for the great stretches. If you are sitting for long periods of time, these stretches and yoga poses could help relieve strain and discomfort. Another way to help your body out is to sit less. A standing desk, like the Evodesk is a great way to keep working while you get on your feet. The beauty of an Evodesk standing desk is that you aren’t stuck standing all day. Just press a button and you can return to sitting when you need to. Do you need a break? Namste standing.
