Business Assist

Do you get so busy doing your work that you forget to move around? Do you work in such a static state that your whole body is exhausted at the end of the day? As someone who sits at a desk and computer for a good portion of the day, I know what this feels like. While working this morning I felt an overwhelming sensation to get up and stretch.
Reflecting on the tae-bo video I used last night during my workout, I remembered something Billy Blanks said. He said that throughout the day, no matter what you are doing, take short breaks and do this stretch. Spread your legs apart and squat. Hold this position for a couple 8 counts, making sure that your back stays straight and your torso is centered over your legs. Also make sure your knees are over your toes and not past them.

What a great idea I thought. So a few minutes ago, I stood up at my desk in front of my computer screen and did this stretch. Then I stood up straight for an 8 count and did the stretch again. WOW! The power of the body is amazing. When fresh oxygen enters your system and you get your blood circulating the effects are amazing.

I then sat back down at my desk and noticed how much stronger my posture felt.
