🎯 Top Takeaways

  2. Key Point 2: Incorporate Movement Breaks: Use the Pomodoro Technique to build movement into your day and boost energy levels.
  3. Key Point 3: Practice Desk Stretches: Easy stretches like the shoulder roll and "Desk Pretzel" help alleviate muscle tension and improve posture.

Exercises

  2. The Shoulder Roll Stretch: Sit or stand up straight. Roll your shoulders forward three times, then backward three times. Repeat as needed throughout the day.
  3. The Desk Pretzel Stretch: Cross one leg over the other and gently twist your torso towards the top leg. Hold for a few seconds, then switch sides.
  4. The Pomodoro Movement Break: Set a 25-minute timer for focused work, followed by a 5-minute break for stretching or walking.
