How Many Hours do You Sit a Day?
If you are anything like the majority of people who work a 9-5 job, chances are you are sitting for a substantial amount of those hours everyday. Stretching a few minutes each day will help by increasing the overall flexibility in your body as well as relieving lower back pain.
Not to mention, stretching will help in improving your performance at work due to increased blood flow to the body and brain which in turn will help in increasing awareness while decreasing fatigue and stress!
Try These Stretches for 5 Minutes a Day!
Set aside five minutes each day, and find some space on the ground to do these stretches. Focus on deep breathing and being intentional with each movement. Go slow and breathe from your belly. Try to do each stretch 2 to 3 rep of 15 each.
