It’s easier and more productive to work with a relaxed body.
Here are 5 practical exercises if …
1. … Your neck hurts again.
Stretching your trapezius: Before starting the exercise, take 3 deep breaths (lift your shoulders as high as possible towards your earlobes) and 3 slow exhales (lower your shoulders while remaining relaxed).
2. +3. … little mobility.
Pelvis Screw: In this exercise the whole spine is optimally rotated. The spine/pelvis muscles are relaxed and well supplied with blood. Alternatively, if you can’t lie down, this can be done in an office chair.
Psoas Stretch: The so-called hip flexor especially suffers from prolonged sitting. If you don’t stretch it from time to time, the muscle shortens and this increases its tension in the tissue. This usually leads to lower back pain. Alternatively, if you don’t have a wall, you can squat without bending your shins too much. Tip: Put a cushion under your knees.
4…. your concentration is reduced.
Planks: Take 2 minutes and tense up your body as much as possible. Your body and brain will be optimally supplied with blood again.
5…. your shoulders slumped again.
Pectoralis Stretch: If you sit in front of a computer for too long, you probably know this phenomenon too – your shoulders droop. Often due to stress and when working, leaning forward brings your chest muscles closer together. If you don’t work on your muscles, this can lead to shoulder and neck problems in the long run.
Important: It is always a good idea to ventilate the room and let in some fresh air. Your body gets new energy and allows your brain to think more clearly.
And always remember: your posture keeps your mind in shape.
