These exercises will help to avoid muscle stiffness, increase flexibility and reduce the risk of injury. Do them daily. And if you sit a lot, then several times a day. However, you should not do exercises if you feel pain or have problems with the musculoskeletal system.

Before you start stretching, you need to take the right position.

First, sit on a hard surface. Transfer your body weight to the sciatic bones so that the spine assumes a natural position. Pull your chin back and down so that your neck is in line with your back.

Simple stretches on a chair can be performed right at your desk every two to three hours, and exercises on the floor can be left for home training.

1. Neck stretching

3. Body rotations

Cross your arms over your chest. Turn the body and head to look over the right shoulder. The pelvis remains in place and does not move. Hold this position for 30-60 seconds and repeat in the other direction.

4. Back stretching

Raise your right elbow above your head, place your forearm behind your back, and place your palm on the shoulder blade closer to the center of your back. Put your left hand behind your back from below, at the level of the lower back.

The elbow is pressed against the belt, the forearm is stretched along the back, the palm looks out. If possible, connect the fingers of two hands. Hold this position for 30-60 seconds and switch hands.

8. Quadriceps stretching

Stand up straight. Bend your right knee and grasp the sock with your right hand, press the heel against the buttock. Do not move your right hip much forward, it should be approximately at the same level with the left. Feel the stretch in the front of your thigh.

Stay in the pose for 30-60 seconds, hold on to the wall or the back of a chair if you lose your balance. Repeat with the other leg.

9. Stretching the muscles of the lower leg

Go to the wall, lean on it with your palms. Place your right foot close to the wall so that the sock rests against it. Put your left leg back a step.

Bend the knee of your right leg and pull it towards the wall. At the same time, the left leg remains straight, the heels are pressed to the floor. You should feel the muscles of your left leg stretching.

Fix the pose for 30-60 seconds and repeat with the other leg.
