• Alternating toe taps
• Seated marching
• Heel raises
• Shoulder blade squeezes
  

  Sitting at Computer Posture Choices – Which would you rather have?

• Shoulder shrugs/rolls
• Seated knee extensions- extend your leg straight  hold for 5 sec then slowly lower
• Upper trunk rotations- sitting in neutral posture, folding your arms across your chest, turn slowly side to side
• Mini Squats – sit to stand from a stationary chair
• Wall push ups

Other options, if you have the time, are to take the stairs when possible and go for a brisk walk during a break time or lunch. Remember every little bit of activity each day adds up to improve your health and wellness.
