Does your body feels stuck at times? No time to workout because you have too much work?
Let's face it. All of us have tons of unfinished work to do. But have you actually thought that sometimes it's not about one being unproductive or slow? It's just in this hectic world, we're most likely to have never ending things to finish. When we happily accomplish a task, another comes rolling in. And when we barely had enough rest & fun over the weekends, weekdays are here again. Familiar endless cycle of exhaustion?
Working in a fast-paced corporate environment can be toxic in a long run if not handled properly. Being sedentary at our desk from 9-6 can makes us forget the energy of life, and more importantly, creates an impact on our overall well-being.
Frequent stretching can actually helps to feel relaxed and revitalized. Here are some of my favourite moves to relieve stiffness and restore the body connection after a whole day of sitting down. It's nothing complicated and more than just twisting yourself into pretzels :)
Enjoy this multitude of healthy benefits! (:
