THURSDAY | Office Mobility Reset: Undo the Damage of Sitting 

Prolonged sitting temporarily reduces blood flow, tightens hip flexors, weakens glutes, and stiffens the spine. Studies confirm that office mobility breaks significantly reduce musculoskeletal discomfort and improve posture (McGowan et al., 2019). 

A simple 3-minute desk routine: 
• Neck Circles (3 each direction) 
• Shoulder Rolls (10 forward/backward) 
• Seated Spinal Twist (20 seconds each side) 
• Standing Hip Flexor Stretch (20 seconds each side) 
• Chest Opener Against Wall (20 seconds) 

Perform every 2–3 hours to stay loose, mobile, and sharp.
