STRETCHES
DESK
THAT WILL KEEP YOU ALIVE!
17
40% increased risk of dying
for people sitting all day
(Study from Archives of Internal Medicine)
Problem
Sitting for too long is bad, but not
everyone can afford a stand-up desk.
Solution
Stretch often at work. A few stretches a day
(ideally every hour) can make a big difference
for your health in the long run. Try some of
the following right now!
You can do this one while
sitting down. Touch your
opposite shoulder blade,
and then gently grab your
elbow, and pull it towards
the opposite side.
The Elbow Pump
While sitting, lift your leg up
and grab onto your knee.
Try and pull your leg
towards your chest, and
see how close you can get
it. Hold for 10 seconds.
The Knee-Jerk
While sitting, straighten
your legs, and reach out to
try and touch your toes.
The Toe Toucher
Lift your arm over your
head and reach towards
the opposite side.
Remember to keep your
back upright.
The Ballerina
Put both of your hands
behind your back with palms
touching, and push out your
chest like you’re trying to
intimidate the co worker
across from you. Hold this
pose for 5 seconds.
The Backwards Clap

HEALTHIER AND MORE
PRODUCTIVE

Raise both of your shoulders
at the same time. Hold for 5
seconds, and then release.
As you bring your shoulders
down say “I dunno”.
The I Don’t Know
Lean your head down, and
rotate your neck from left to
right. Remember to go slow,
and ideally sing a song so
you don’t look so weird.
The Bobble Head
Interlock both hands
together, and try your best to
touch the sky, with palms
facing the ceiling. Hold for 5
seconds. Just watch out in
case you have sweat stains
under your shirt ;)
Touch The Sky
Cross your leg, and gently
push down on your knee,
stretching the glutes. As
your pushing down,
remember to exhale slowly.
The Knee-Pump
Take your hand and grab
the opposite side of your
head. Gently, and I really
mean gently, pull your head
towards your shoulder. No
need to have your ear
actually touch your
shoulder, only moving a
few inches is good enough.
The Neck Breaker
Get down with one knee on
the floor and one knee bent,
as if you were about to
propose to your coworker, and
slowly lean forward. Hold for 5
seconds. Switch and repeat.
The Proposal
In the same position as the
one above, but this time
look up to the sky, and put
your hands up. This one is
great for your abdominals.
Reach For The Sky
In the same position as the
one above, but now put your
right arm on your waist, and
then take your left arm, reach
it up to the sky, and then
slowly towards the right side.
I’m A Little TeaCup
Grab your hand and bend it
slowly towards you until
you feel a slight burn in
your wrist. Hold for 5
seconds. Repeat 3 times.
Then grab your hand with
your palms facing out and
pull back until you feel a
stretch in your wrist.
Hand Holding
Take your left arm, and grab
your right shoulder. With your
right hand, grab your elbow
and gently pull it towards your
right shoulder. Repeat with the
opposite arm.
One Arm Hug
Find a wall or doorway, and
with one arm at a time,
press your hand into the
wall while turning your body
away until you feel a stretch
in your shoulder. Remember
not to go too hard though,
you won’t be able to move
the wall, trust me.
Push The Wall
While sitting, extend one
leg, and hold for 2 seconds.
Then try and lift that leg as
high as it can go, and hold
for 5 seconds. Be careful
not to kick the desk under
you though.
The High Kick
KEEPING THESE GOOD HABITS IS
CRUCIAL FOR YOUR WELL-BEING
Most office jobs provide very
little movement, which does
lots of damage to your body.
Tools like Officevibe can help
measure and improve
wellness at your company.
