Exercises you can do at your desk in under 2 minutes
Sitting for long hours at your desk can cause stiffness, fatigue, and poor posture. The good news is, you don’t always need a gym to stay active. You can do certain exercises at your desk in under 2 minutes, which can boost energy, ease tension, and improve focus.
Seated Neck Stretches: Gently tilt your head to one side, hold for 10 seconds, and switch. Repeat on both sides. This relieves stiffness caused by looking at screens for long periods and prevents neck pain.
