Try these six flexibility exercises to reduce tightness and stress that has gathered throughout your whole body. These exercises are all designed to be performed while you are seated and supported by a chair. Take a few minutes to stretch the muscles that are tight and tighten the muscles that are too loose from repeatedly doing work or school tasks such as typing on a computer, reading through books, and texting on your mobile devices. Kerry and TJ, exercise physiologists from Cornell Wellness, will lead you through six stretches including: Neck Retractions, Shoulder Blade Retractions, Abdominal Stretch, T-Spine Rotations, Hamstring Stretch, and Ankle Mobility.
