Key Points

  1. 1

    Keep moving in different ways

    Keep moving in different ways to reduce joint stiffness and muscle tension.

  2. 2

    30 minutes sitting, 1 minute moving

    For every 30 minutes of sitting, try to move your body for 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Use pelvic tilts regularly

    Use pelvic tilts regularly to keep your lower back mobile.

  4. 4

    Use the back rest

    Don't forget to relax back into your back rest at times - that's why it's called a "back rest".

  5. 5

    Your next posture is the best one

    The best posture is your next posture. It's all about keeping the variation in positions.

  6. 6

    Stand up, reach and shake it out

    Our body is built to move - so stand up, reach to the roof, bend and hang, turn each way, shake your booty.

  7. 7

    Try kneeling at your desk

    Try kneeling at your desk to stretch your hip flexors out for a few minutes while you are still tapping away at your keyboard.
