  • Stretch your back: Back pain is a very common phenomenon among those with desk jobs. If you have a terrible sitting posture, it can seriously affect your lower and upper back resulting in severe cramps. While you are seated, you can do a backbend or you can raise your hands high and stretch your back while having your fingers interlocked with each other. Hold this pose for a few seconds and repeat it several times during the day.
  • Stretch out your hands and legs: Sitting for several hours not only affect the back, but also the hands and legs. In order to stretch out your legs, you can stand straight and then, bend forward to try and touch your nose to your legs. Alternatively, you can stay seated and stretch out your legs perpendicular to your spine. As for your hands, you can raise them, stretch them out or interlock and squeeze them.
