Reset the “desk posture” pattern
Long periods of sitting can encourage rounded shoulders and tight hips. A short routine can help restore range of motion without feeling like a workout.
- Do 5 slow shoulder rolls and 5 neck turns each side.
- Stand up and reach overhead while breathing slowly.
- Open the chest by gently pulling elbows back.
Add hips and ankles for smoother movement
Hips and ankles support walking, squatting, and general comfort. A few gentle moves can make daily movement feel easier.
- Do 30 seconds of hip circles each direction.
- Try a slow forward fold with bent knees.
- Use ankle circles or calf stretches for 30–60 seconds.
Wellness cue
Mobility works best when it is brief, daily, and gentle.
"Five minutes of mobility can change how your whole day feels."
