Top 3 Stretches for Office Workers (Working from Home)

Stand up with your back against the wall

Tighten your abdominal muscles, gently pull your shoulder blades toward each other and the back of your hands down into the wall

Without letting your shoulders roll forward, slowly slide your arms on the wall to raise them overhead — as high as possible with good posture and without pain

Do not let your shoulders shrug towards your ears

Start this one by trying to get your thumb to the wall, just by lifting your arms up overhead, then turn your palms up, so the back of your head is on the wall, and try to maintain contact as you come down in the “angel” position — do these throughout the day to keep the pecs opened up

Start on all fours with your back straight, hands under the shoulder and knees under hips

Breathe in as you round and out as you lift up your head

Keep the core slightly activated

Focus on getting the extension between your shoulder blades in the cat position and really tucking your tailbone under you in the opposite direction

Focus on segmental spinal movements, slowly

Adopt a deep lunge position with rear leg stretched behind

Put your forearm on the floor on the inside of the front foot and drop your hips towards the floor as much as possible

Then, rotate the trunk toward your front leg by moving your free hand up towards the ceiling while looking at your hand

Bring your hand back down on your knee and push outward to open up the hip

Bring your hand back down on your knee and push outward to open up the hip

Return your forearm on the floor and repeat

Keep your nice lunge position at all times

Do on the other side

Remember to do both directions & deep breathing
