WFH Stretches to support your Posture
‼️ If there ever was one to Save & Refer to daily, THIS IS IT.
- Posture starting to look like Quasimodo? 🚶🏻♀️
- Experiencing neck or back pain after 8+ hours in front of your laptop? 👩🏻💻
Grab a foam roller (if you don’t have one no worries, stick to all the roller-less options below) & let’s get some relief!
10-15 reps 3X each for the following:
1A Foam Roller Thoracic Extension Arms crosses over Chest (beginner)
1B Arms Extended (advanced)
2A Foam Roller Thread the Needle (advanced)
2B Roller-less Thread the Needle (beginner)
3A Foam Roller Supported Open Books (beginner, support your knee with a firm pillow if you don’t own a roller)
3B Roller-less Open Books (advanced)
4A Roller Dynamic Puppy Pose (beginner)
4B Dynamic Down Dog (beginner)
🔥Hot Tips:
- Always execute focusing on your form over how deep into the stretch you can get
- Perform at your own pace and with control of the movement (no jerking, no forcing! videos are sped up) hold each rep 3-5seconds then release
- Let go of judgement for yourself, we can’t all be flexy acrobats, and that is perfectly A-OK 👌🏼
- Discomfort is normal, pain is not. Don’t continue any movement that brings up sharp or shooting pain. (Consult your chiropractor/ physical therapist if you have any pre-existing conditions)
✨ Perform daily for best results/ relief ✨
