Prolonged hours of sitting might make you restless, hamper your creativity and lower your defence against stress. Getting some exercise can give you an energy boost while at work.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Your health is also at risk. Apart from the obvious strain in your posture, shoulders, arms and wrists, staying sedentary can lead to more serious health issues like heart damage, diabetes, muscle weakness and poor digestion.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">The good news is\u2026 there are chair exercises you can do from your workspace! Physical exercise\u2019s numerous benefits include improved flexibility, increased energy and endurance. Emotionally, physical movement helps to reduce stress and tension. Mentally, it boosts brain function- making memorizing, thinking and concentrating easier.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Start by calming your mind through repetitive deep breathing: inhale as if you are smelling the flowers in front of you, and exhale as if blowing out a candle in front of you. Practice this healing breathing technique several times before starting with the stretches. You feel yourself starting to relax already, aren\u2019t you?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Here is a list of exercises that you can do from your office chair. And don\u2019t worry, we handpicked them to be sure that they will not be distracting to your colleagues.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><strong>1.
