Course overview

Sitting at your desk for hours a day can cause sore, stiff muscles. Research shows that stretching at work can reduce pain by up to 72%. We're not talking about a full-body yoga session in your conference room, but rather some very quick, simple stretches you can do sitting or standing at your desk. The exercises we'll go over in this course will help loosen you up and get rid of some of the tension you get from sitting for prolonged periods of time.
