A quick exercise routine for computer worker

More and more people today have to use a computer for work and business; it can be at the office, at home or during traveling.
If you spend several hours per day in front of your computer, I am sure you feel sometimes out of energy and focus deficient. It happens to everybody and it’s better to find a solution if you want to keep up your productivity and creativity.

Here a quick exercise routine you should do every 2 hours; you can do it sitting on your chair but I strongly recommend to stand up.

Start to focus on your breathing and follow the following pattern for 1 or 2 minutes: breath in for a count of 3, hold for 3 seconds, then breath out for a count of 6.
Flex, then extend your neck for 8 reps, then circle your neck in both ways for 8 reps.
Rotate your shoulders forwards, then backwards for 8 reps.
Extend your arms above your head and stretch for a few seconds to get “taller”.

And you’re done and ready to get back to your business with better feeling and focus. Do not forget: the body has been designed to move, therefore respect it, give him what he needs…

Here are an excellent resource for more energy: check it out!
