In today's world, most of us spend a significant part of our working time sitting at the computer, immersed in routine tasks. A sedentary lifestyle is the norm for many occupations, but such work can cause serious health problems if proper precautions are not taken.
Constant sitting, even with correct posture, puts excessive strain on the back, neck, shoulders and general condition of the body. Therefore, it is important to know and use simple but effective exercises that will help avoid negative consequences and maintain health, the CATBOSS Telegram channel emphasizes.
In fact, the human body is not adapted to sitting for long periods of time without movement. The muscles of the back and neck gradually become tense, and blood circulation deteriorates. This can lead to back pain, neck tension, fluid retention in the legs, impaired vision, and even the development of chronic diseases. To avoid these problems, you should pay attention to your health during the working day by taking regular breaks for short activity.
What exercises can be performed without even leaving the workplace?
1. Changing body position. One of the easiest solutions is not to stay in one position for too long. Every 30 to 60 minutes, try to get up, walk a little, or take a few steps in place. It only takes 2-3 minutes to activate blood circulation and relieve tension.
2. Movements on a chair. If it is not possible to stand up, there are many exercises that can be done while sitting. For example:
3. Gymnastics for the eyes. The eyes are also subjected to heavy loads while working at the computer. To relieve fatigue, do exercises:

Tips for maintaining activity in everyday life
Don't limit their activity only with office exercises. To ensure a healthy balance between sitting and moving, try making physical activity a part of your daily life:
Regular fitness and household activity
Even if you exercise a few times a week, it is no substitute for daily activity at work and at home. Household activity is the key to maintaining health and well-being. After all, short active breaks during the working day help reduce stress levels, increase energy and productivity.
Sedentary work is a challenge for our health, but the right approach and regular exercises will help avoid many problems. Start with small changes in your daily routine – short active breaks every 30-60 minutes, chair exercises and eye exercises can make a big difference. And increasing activity not only at work, but also in everyday life will help keep the body in good shape and stay healthy.
