Short stretching tips for desk and remote workers. From Flexor Labs.
Long video calls keep your hips flexed and your upper back rounded. These four moves take about four minutes and you can do them between meetings without leaving your desk.
Seated figure-four (60s). Cross one ankle over the opposite knee and hinge forward with a long spine. Switch sides.
Standing hip flexor (60s). Step one foot back, gently tuck the pelvis, and squeeze the back glute. Switch sides.
Seated thoracic twist (60s). Hand on the outside of the opposite knee; rotate gently with the breath. Switch sides.
Cat-cow at the chair (60s). Hands on knees — round on the exhale, gently arch on the inhale.
Keep the tension mild and breathe slowly. Short daily breaks beat one long stretch session at the end of the week.
