Office Worker Stretching Guide 

By: Terry Abrams

A majority of Americans spend 40 hours a week, 8 hours a day tied to a desk and staring at a computer. The downfall of computer based work is that it compromises the well being of your body. Not only does prolonged sitting have an effect on cardiovascular health but also musculoskeletal integrity as well. Prolonged sitting along with bad posture can shorten hamstrings and hip flexors, contribute to neck and back pain, and even diminish core strength. To keep your body in tip-top shape CardioFlex would like to share some videos on stretches and exercises you can do while at your desk. We hope you enjoy the videos! (Tip: It is recommended to stand up, walk, stretch, etc. 5-10 min every hour.)
