Do you spend most of your work day sitting at a desk? Your feet might not get sore. But you can still end up with achy muscles from being sedentary. At Stretch Wichita, our stretch coaches in Wichita, KS, can help ease these pains. But you can also do some easy stretches during your work day to stay flexible — and reduce the risk of tight, sore muscles!

Stretch Your Triceps

You can do this one while sitting down or standing up. A few times during your work day, do the following steps:

• Raise and bend one arm
• Pull your bent elbow toward your head with the other hand
• Hold that position for about 30 seconds
• Repeat steps using the other arm

Stretch Your Knees and Hips

Before or after walking around a bit during work breaks, do the following steps:

• Hold one knee and pull it toward your chest
• Stay in that position for about 30 seconds
• Repeat steps with the other knee

Stretch Your Neck

Have an achy neck from looking at your screen for hours at a time? Try this stretch:

• Tilt your head down
• Roll your head to one side slowly and stay that way for 10 seconds
• Roll to the other side and hold that pose for 10 seconds
• Repeat steps a few times in each direction
