Desk Aerobics:
De-Stressing Exercises at Work

Being chained to your desk isn't an excuse for not exercising; no matter how much you have to do, you have time for this simple de-stressing routine:

Start with your neck. Tilt your head slowly to the right and count to five before lifting it. Repeat by tilting to the left, touching your chin to your chest, and then turning your head to each side.
Shouldering tension? Release it by rolling shoulders forward at least five times, and then backward five more times.
Stretch your spine. Sitting in your chair, slowly lean forward as far as you can while still remaining seated and hold for five seconds. Slowly raise yourself back to an upright position one vertebrae at a time.
Use your arms. Place your hands behind your neck and push your elbows back as far as you can, count to five, and then bring them back and drop them to your side. Repeat four more times.
Lift those legs by pulling each knee to your chest one at a time. Keep each leg to your chest for five seconds.

De-stressed? Keep it that way by running through the routine a few times each day.
