Here are some desk exercises and overall Ideas and concepts to improve your office health and workplace wellness 1. Get up and Stretch Often Get up and walk around by taking advantage of your allowed breaks to loosen up those muscles in you from sitting down for such long periods of time. Your joints and body tend to tighten up from sitting from the chair for too long so you get up and stretch it out. You can: · Do a simple hamstring stretch by keeping your legs straight and trying to touch your toes. · Rotate your neck around in circles, first one way, and then the other to loosen the muscles in your neck. Sitting down in the cubicle tends to give you a stiff neck. · Shake your hands out every once and awhile to loosen up your hands from typing on the computer so long. 2. Check Your Desk to See if it is Ergonomically Sound for you: · Is your Chair at the right height? If your chair is too high, your feet will just be dangling in the air. Too low, your legs will be cramped up. You need to have your chair at a point where it is not too high and not too long. You don’t want to be hunched over in a cubicle all day. It is bad for your back. · Watch the Lighting Check to see if there is any glare on your screen and if your office is well lit so you have to see in the dark. 3. Drink Lots of Water All too often people are drinking coffee, soda, and now the all too popular energy drinks to stay awake at work. Although you stay awake because you are pumped up on caffeine, it will dehydrate you. So sip some cups of water throughout the day to balance out the caffeine intake. Comments03/30/2012 04:05
