Bonus #2: Posture stretches and exercises to do at your desk - anytime!1:13
This is just a brief introduction to the workplace posture activities that are demonstrated in the following lecture. Remember the phrase: "Sitting is the New Smoking" when you're at work and try to take breaks every 20 minutes or so, just to get up and walk around. It'll help you reduce back pain, and it will get your circulation going.

When you don't have time to get up, or if you can't leave your desk, do one or two of the at-your-desk posture activities that follow. They'll increase your energy, help you return to a more focused state, and most important, they'll help to improve your posture.
At-your-desk posture activity #1: Yoga Shoulder Stretch0:58
Use the Yoga Shoulder Stretch as a great way to occasionally loosen up your upper body. Try to remember to keep your shoulders back while you work, which will keep your chest open and your posture correct. But when you find your posture to get slouchy, regardless of your desk ergonomics, do the yoga shoulder stretch.
