Exercises to help the Average Desk Jockey
The following exercises are great to help support the areas that end up taking the brunt end of the force from sitting at a computer all day:
 |
Chin Tucks:
Start in a seated position with your shoulders pulled back and down. Hold for 5 seconds, repeat 5 times. |
 |
Massage Back Muscles:
Massage the muscles on either side of your spine with a tennis ball, a peanut ball, or foam roller. You could always use a door frame or corner of wall to do this exercise too!
|
 |
Trap Stretch:
Bring an ear towards your shoulder. Allow your opposite shoulder to gently press away from your head. Hold for 30 seconds, repeat 3 times.
|
 |
Pec Stretch:
Clasp your hands behind your head, gently look up and lift your chest towards the ceiling. Hold for 30 seconds, repeat 3 times.
|
 |
Shoulder Rolls:
Bring your shoulders up towards your ears, then gently let them roll back and down your back body. Repeat for 10 cycles.
|
 |
Diaphragmatic Breathing:
Place one hand on your stomach and one hand on your chest. Breath in, by drawing your breath down towards the bowl of your pelvis (your stomach may expand slightly). Then breath out through the nose. Try to recognize any tension you may be holding and try to let that go. |
