Nowadays, people who work in offices almost go to work and get off work in the afternoon, and "sit" from morning to night. This is undoubtedly very detrimental to our health. In fact, we can do some appropriate actions while sitting to change our stiff body, but how to do it specifically? The editor below has compiled some ways to exercise while sitting for your reference.
1. Nod forward slowly: Try to keep your chin as close to your chest as possible, feel the muscles in your back stretch as much as possible, and then slowly raise your head until the muscles in your throat become tight. Repeat this set of actions 5 times.
2. Turn your head to the right gently but forcefully: Keep your shoulders still. Look at a target behind you, hold for 5 seconds and then turn back. Turn left again and hold for 5 seconds. Repeat this set of actions 5 times. (Note: Do not turn too fast to prevent damage to neck muscles or dizziness).
3. Soothing arm exercises: Cross your hands and press them on your shoulders, slowly move your elbows up and down, and rotate your arms around the shoulder joints. Do 20 times in each group and 3 groups in a row. This can prevent arm numbness caused by overexertion.
4. Abdominal tightening exercise: Spread your knees shoulder-width apart, sit on a chair with your back straight, contract your abdominal muscles, and drive your shoulders to bend toward your waist. At this time, your back will become round. arc. Pay attention to inhale when your abdominal muscles tighten and exhale when they relax. Do this set for a total of 3 sets, 5 times each.
5. Leg relaxation exercises: Lean your back comfortably on the office chair, slowly straighten your knees, and lift your calves. You will feel the muscle on both sides of your thighs exerting force. If you persist for 15i times, you will feel very relaxed. This set of movements can be done alternately with both legs.
6. Foot movements: Put your legs together, sit down, and keep your soles from the ground. Lift your heels as much as possible, just like dancing ballet, so that your feet can move up and down elastically. There is no limit to the number of times you can do this set of movements, as long as you feel comfortable. This exercise helps increase blood circulation in the feet and relieves tension in the calf muscles.
