Many of us sit at a desk and in front of the computer for hours every day and get so lost in our work that we forget to take quick breaks to stretch. So we suggest setting a hourly timer or to remember every time you get up for a water/bathroom break to do 3 minutes of stretching. JUST 3 MINUTES! Thats all folks! It will help.
Here are some great stretches that you can do in the office throughout the day.
