Number 2. Seated lower back  twist

This is a nice easy and subtle stretch you can do at your desk. If done properly you should feel a nice stretch all the way up your spine, which feels amazing if you’ve been in a fixed position at your desk.

 

1. Sit up nice and tall in your chair, feet flat on the floor

2. Keeping your hips still, twist your torso to one side as far as your range of motion allows, place hand to steady yourself on either arm rests of the base of the base of chair.

3. Ensure you are keeping your good posture throughout stretch. Keep your neck in line with your spine.

4. Take a deep breath in and on your slow exhale try gently to twist deeper into your stretch. Do not force the stretch.

5. Hold for approx 3 slow breaths then release and repeat on other side.

 

Keep moving people and keep your body mobile and happy!! 🙂
