5 minute office workout
Here's a quick stretching routine that targets the areas that we typically feel discomfort in after working at a desk for long periods.

Do you sit the majority of the time at work or at home? If you work in an office, chances are you do.

Do you ever feel back discomfort from sitting too long? How about stiffness in your neck, shoulders, legs, and even arms and wrists from being on the computer all day?

We're all very busy, and it's easy to forget to get up and move. But if you'll take a few quick stretch breaks during the day, your body will thank you.

It's well worth the time, for your body, mind, and spirit.
