These are discreet, non-disruptive stretches and exercises you can do at your desk that can reverse the negative effects of sitting.
If you’re like us, morning runs are an integral part of your routine: You wake up, sip a cup of coffee while you get dressed, lace up your shoes, and head out for some miles before work. Then it’s off to the office—where again, like most of us—you spend the day at your desk. While we all know sitting for eight hours a day isn’t healthy, it can be even more detrimental for runners.
Luckily, there’s an easy fix for both scenarios: desk exercises. No, we don’t expect you to bust out jumping jacks in the middle of a conference call. These are discreet, non-disruptive “The hips require internal and external rotation during both the stance and swing phase of running,” Yuen says. “If you are missing some rotation in the hips, the body will have to rotate through the knees or lumbar spine, which decreases efficiency and could lead to pain.”Sit all the way back in your chair and place hands behind head to support neck. Inhale then exhale as you lean back to allow spine to wrap over the back of the chair as you gaze up toward ceiling.
