Summary: These exercise moves can help you feel better after you’re stuck at a desk all day.
A considerable amount of people in America spend their days sitting at a desk. Whether we work in an office, work from home, or are students, we constantly hear about how sitting is bad for our health. One thing it can lead to is poor posture, since we often slump forwards and towards our computers. Here are six strength moves to work on that can not only improve your health and fitness, but your posture as well.
- Plank: posture is most often affected by our back and ab muscles, and the plank works both of these well, along with many other muscles in your body.
