Week Five - October 23 - Oct 29th
Stretching At The Office!Hey, all stretching doesn't happen in the Gym or on a Yoga mat. You can take time during the day to stretch to increase flexibility and reduce back pain and repetitive stress injuries. Most experts on rehab will suggest people take time out from their day to stretch and flex all those muscles that we abuse while sitting at a desk staring at the computer screen or participating in endless conference calls.
Chair Squat: Periodically while sitting, lift butt off the seat and hover over chair for 2-3 seconds. Stand up and repeat.
Dips: Make sure chair is stable and place hands next to hips. Move hips in front of chair and bend elbows, lowering body until elbows are at 90 degrees. Repeat.
Abs: Sit on the edge of chair, arms extending in front. Keeping back straight, contract the abs and slowly lower torso towards back of chair. Hold 2-3 seconds and repeat.
Curls: Cross arms over chest and sit up straight. Contract abs and curl shoulder towards hips, pulling abs in. Hold for 2 seconds and repeat
