Learning simple exercises to follow at your workplace can lead to better physical health and increased productivity. In this blog, we will cover 5 types of 5-minute simple stretching exercises to try at the office.
1. Cat and Cow Stretch
The cat-cow stretch is a desk variation of the traditional cat and cow posture Marjariasana. It relaxes your back muscles, spinal erectors, and lower back muscles. Its range of motion makes it an excellent on-the-go exercise while sitting at your desk. However, do not attempt this if you’re in pain. It is always best to practice this with the advice of your Doctor.

2. Neck rotation exercises in office
Neck pain is caused by working for long hours at your computer desk. Strain caused by postural problems can lead to pain and stiffness reducing the range of mobility. Regular neck exercises can help you correct this and bring relief. Adding mats or a designated stretch area at your office can motivate your regular movement.
Steps:
If done correctly, this exercise activates your whole body and strengthens your back, knees, and head. First, you can do five continuous sit-ups, ensuring you do this with proper breathing.
