Ladies, if you spend hours at a desk every day, you know how it feels. You may have tight shoulders, a stiff back, and even headaches creeping in by the afternoon. The good news is that small changes can make a big difference in how you feel at work and in your daily life!
Set Up Your Workspace for Comfort
Your chair should support your lower back, invest in an ergonomic chair or a lumbar cushion. Your feet should rest flat on the floor, and your screen should be at eye level. If you use a laptop, consider a stand and an external keyboard to improve posture.
Move Often, Even at Your Desk
Sitting all day is not what our bodies were designed for. This can lead to stiffness and poor circulation. Set a reminder to stand up, stretch, or take a quick walk every hour. Even rolling your shoulders and stretching your wrists at your desk can help keep tension away.
Drink Water & Snack Smart
I see it all the time women running on caffeine and skipping meals. Stay hydrated and keep healthy snacks like nuts or fruit nearby to avoid those afternoon crashes.
