This is an exercise I do at my desk nearly every day, but I hadn't thought about standing up for it. The muscles used when I stand are a bit different than those I use when I sit, so standing is an interesting change of pace. I don't think I ever really thought of this as an exercise – just a way to get the ache out of my back when I've been working over the desk for too long. In any case, it's one of my favorites.

Overhead stretch |
|
We're going to reach above our heads and do some stretching, but first, Dr. Todd Berntson, author of "Deskercise! The Workplace Workout," has some stretching advice.
Tip #1: Don't stretch your muscles too are. Stretch only to the point where you can feel a mild pull on the muscles.
Tip #2: Don't bounce while stretching.
Follow the link below for more tips.
Ready for the stretch?
- Stand up.
- Lace your fingers together in front of your chest, palms facing away from your body.
- Keeping shoulders down, reach your arms over your head.
- Straighten your arms, and try to pull your tailbone down, keeping your torso straight.
