Again and again you come to us with back pain or shortened leg muscles. With neck pain, headaches or water in the legs.
These are the effects of sitting for hours on end at work. Prevent it with active breaks!
Active break - what is it? As the name suggests, you should be active during your break and not wander from your workplace to the table in the break room. However, you can always incorporate active breaks in between.
These three exercises are perfect for a short, active break:
-> Stand up from the chair and sit down again. Do this for one minute and make sure that when you stand up you stretch your legs completely and also at the hip.
-> Stand and do lunges. Each side 25 times.
-> Stand parallel to a free wall and raise the arm on the wall to shoulder height. The palm of your hand is against the wall. Now take a few steps forward towards the wall until you feel a stretch in the chest muscles. Hold this stretch for 30 seconds and repeat three times per side.
