Ten minutes of mobility for desk days
A short routine for stiff hips, a tight neck and a back that's been sitting since nine.
Sitting isn't harmful in itself; staying in one position for hours is what leaves us stiff. The best posture is the next one.
A short mobility routine moves your joints through their full range: hips, upper back, shoulders and neck. Ten minutes at lunch or after work is enough to feel the difference.
Move slowly and stay well inside comfort. Mobility work should feel like a long stretch after waking, never like pain.
Try this
- Cat-cow on hands and knees, ten slow rounds.
- Hip-flexor lunge stretch, 30 seconds each side.
- Slow neck circles and shoulder rolls, five each way.
