“Maybe you hit the gym for a couple of hard workouts AND made it to your sweat sessions at Ride Republic this week… and if so, that’s a job well done!
Here’s the bad news – if you spend most of your day sitting behind a desk, you may still be subject to the negative effects of gravity during long periods of inactivity. Sitting for long periods of time causes imbalances in the body; the head and neck drop forward and the hips and abdomen shorten and tighten.
What to do about it?
- Set a timer to stand up every 15 minutes
- Walk over to chat with a colleague instead of sending an email
- Pace the room while taking that conference call
Try incorporating these three habits into your daily work routine to prevent pain and loss of flexibility.”
Thanks Sophia! I’m going to get up and go badger a colleague RIGHT now! 😉
