With WFH and quarantine being a huge part of our reality these days, most of us are spending a lot more time slouching in our chairs. Whether you’ve been sitting at a desk.. or let’s be real, you’ve been sitting on the couch bingeing Netflix 🙋🏻‍♀️ make sure you take short breaks at least once every hour to move your body. Here are 5 exercises for relieving stiffness in the neck and shoulders from staring at a screen all day. They’re office-friendly too so you can still do these without freaking out your coworkers when stepping away from your desk isn’t an option 🖥😬

1. Passive Neck Stretch - you’ll feel this most in the upper traps, aka your shrug muscles at the top of your shoulders. You can even bring the same side hand behind the back (so left hand if you’re dropping the right ear to shoulder to lengthen the left side, and vice versa) to get a more targeted stretch. 

2. Neck CARs - imagine you’ve got a giant travel pillow around your neck and that you’re trying to squeeze all the way around it using only your neck without losing contact. Speaking of travel pillows, all of these exercises are also great for mid-flight relief.. when we’re allowed to safely travel again! 🤞🏻

3. Seated Side Bend - one of my favorite ways to reset my creaky body after it’s been in one position for too long. I can feel this from my wrists alllll the way down through my lats and down to my waist.

4. Seated Cat Cow - who says you have to do Cat Cow on all fours? The bonus variation with the arm movements always feels amazing on my upper body as it works literally everything from the waist up!

5. Seated Twist - so simple, but so effective, especially when you unexpectedly crack your back 🙈

Try to do at least a few of each, using your breath to guide you between each movement. Give these a go and let me know which exercise was your favorite in the comments below 👇🏻
