Everyone knows how harmful it is to sit at a table or at a computer for many hours in a row. And if you are sitting in traffic jams for several hours before and after work, then this is very bad.
In this case, sooner or later you will have problems with your back, heart, pressure. In general, according to doctors, a long working day spent sitting shortens life by an average of 5-10 years.
WHAT TO DO
First of all - gymnastics for the spine, not forgetting the cervical spine.
On the Internet you will find many different gymnastics, choose the one after which you will feel the greatest effect.
And if you have such a situation, that in the morning you, not yet waking up, leave the house, and in the evening, returning home, are only able to take a shower and "fall into bed"?
Then force yourself to do gymnastics at work, in transport, at lunchtime.
GYMNASTICS FOR BACK
1. Try to straighten your shoulders more often and straighten your back.
2. Sitting on a chair, do twisting, turning with a straight back, then left or right.
3. Hands with a straight back, squeeze the armrests of the chair from their outer side and pull them toward you with force.
4. Press against the wall with shoulders, back, arms, buttocks and heels. Wait a minute in that position.
5. Clinging to the wall, do the swings first with your hands, then with your feet in different directions. 6. In conclusion, bending down as you exhale, freely chat with your hands and try to relax all the muscles.
GYMNASTICS FOR PRESS AND LEGS
1. Sit straight and bring your knees together. Lift them up as you exhale.
2. Keep your back straight and alternately straighten, lifting up, then the right, then the left leg. Then push and move your knees with your feet shoulder-width apart.
3. Sit on the very edge of the chair, put your hands on the table, but don’t carry body weight on them. Lift the buttocks a few millimeters above the chair and hold in that position for several seconds.
4. Take off your shoes, straighten your back, tighten your abdominal muscles and alternately push the heel of your left and right legs on the floor as hard as possible.
5. Make rotational movements of the feet in different directions. Then do the gymnastics with your toes. Soak an object under the table with the soles of your feet.
MORE FEW ADVICE
Get up from your seat and a couple of minutes walk along the corridor (supposedly for business).
If possible, do not use the elevator, but the stairs.
If you have to stand in one place for a long time, shift from foot to foot.
Break the habit of throwing one foot over the other.
