Stiff by 2 p.m.? Your desk setup might not be the whole problem. Staying still is.
Long stretches of sitting leave the neck, shoulders, spine, wrists, and hips tight and cranky. A few simple movement breaks can change how you feel by the end of the workday. Try these:
🔹 Neck and shoulder rolls to release built-up tension
🔹 Seated thoracic twists to keep your mid-back moving
🔹 Wrist circles and stretches, especially if you type all day
🔹 Standing hip flexor stretches to counter all that sitting
Aim for a quick round every hour or so. Save this post as your reminder, and share it with a coworker who's rubbing their neck right now.
