Re-energize at work with a few Yoga stretches

Don’t have the discipline to do the stretches by yourself? Rather have someone tell you when to do certain stretches and how long to hold them? Visit www.stretchsecretary.com, you can set the duration of the stretch and if you want to add soft background music. It’s you very own personal Stretch Secretary. Best of all unlike your own secretary this one is free!

Here are another quick series of stretches to do right at your desk:
Inter-lock your fingers behind your head. Take a deep inhale as you exhale out push
your chest our while pushing your elbows back. Hold the stretch fro 10 seconds.

With your hands still inter-locked behind your head, take a deep inhale then
exhale out as you extend your arms above your head. Hold for 10 seconds.

From the above stretch, you will continue by taking a deep inhale and as you exhale you will bend to your left, hold for 10 seconds, then inhales as you come up and exhale as you drop to your right holding the stretch for 10 seconds

Keeping your hands inter-locked from the last position, raise your arms above you head. Straighten out our legs in front of you keeping your toes up (if you are on a hair with wheels make sure your chair is secured). Take a deep inhale then as you exhale drop your body forward bringing you arms down to meet you legs. Keep a slow and steady breathing pattern as you hold the stretch for at least 10 seconds.

This next stretch can be done sitting or standing. Place you hands on your lower back. Take a deep inhale, as you exhale drop the head back and arch your back to what is comfortable for you. Hold the stretch for 10 seconds.

Try to repeat this series of stretches at least 2 -3 time a day while at work. The increased blood flow from the stretches will give you an instant energy boost.
