While you are at your desk make sure you keep you back straightened and glued to the back of your chair. If you have a bad chair make an investment in your health and buy a new one.

While in your chair keep your feel on the floor and raise one and straighten your keen so that your foot is fully extended in front of you. Keep it elevated for 3 seconds. Do this 10 times with each leg. This simple exercise will resolve the circulation problems your legs might feel during the day.

Don’t sit all day long in your assigned chair. Get out of your chair and walk around the room. Put your hands on your hips and bend backwards until you feel you have straightened your back. Do this exercise a couple of times daily while at work.

Sit with the face toward a wall and lift your hands up reaching for the sky. Keep that position for 3 seconds and do 10 repetitions. This is the best way I have found to get rid of shoulder pains.

Keep this position for 3 seconds and do 10 repetitions. You can alternate the arms. This exercise relaxes your shoulders and arms.

If you hands get num bend your thumbs toward your palm and squeeze your fists (your thumbs are inside the fists). Then open wide up your palm and wiggle your fingers a little.

It is recommended you move and exercise a little between 12pm and 2pm when your body gets tired. You will get energized fast if you do this simple office exercises.

Don’t forget to drink water. Drink as much water and fresh fruit juice as you want during the day. If you want to be in top shape you have to eliminate stress from your life.
