We all have everyday aches and pains caused by sitting and/or typing for long periods of time but we can find relief. Take a few minutes out of your day to try out the stretches below which can be done at your desk.
Desk Stretches for your torso and exercises for the legs:
TORSO TWIST
- Breathe deeply and as you exhale turn your torso to the right and grab the back of your chair with your right hand and the arm rest with your left hand.
- Use your grasp on the chair to rotate deeper in the stretch but never go to the point of pain.
- As you twist turn your head to look over your shoulder at the wall behind you.
- Slowly release from the stretch and repeat on the other side.
LEG EXTENSIONS (Quadriceps) 
- Sit tall in your chair with your feet on the ground. Grasp the sides of the chair firmly with each hand.
- Extend one leg straight out in front of you so it is parallel to the floor.
- Flex and point your foot five times.
- Lower the leg and repeat on the other side.
