Links > Tools > Stretching @ Your Desk
People who work at their desks all day tend to stay in one position for a long time. The exercises in these two videos are designed to counter the effects of sitting at your desk.
We suggest that you start with Stage 1 below and then move on to Stage 2. Each video will fit nicely into your work break or active break.
You may view the Stretching @ Your Desk video by using YouTube or streaming video (.mov), or saving the file (.wmv).
