The importance of stretching

Doing our thing here in Steem would mean that we will be facing our monitors or mobile phones for a long period of time. For me to write my blogs and engage with the community, it will require more than an hour of working in front of my desk.

This isn’t good for our posture and to our health in general. We needed something to relieve the stress on our body.

I have to admit, the longer I seat in front of my desk, the more I feel the strain on my lower back and on my limbs which is not good.

In the past few days, I have been allowing half an hour of my day to do some stretching. In a way, it also serve as my relaxation since the routine of the stretching actually soothes my body.

After a few days of trying it out myself, the routine gained my trust and with that I would like to share it to you my fellow steemians. It’s really applicable to guys like me who stay seated in front of my computer due to my day work and also for my social media work.

One thing that I like about this stretching routine is it doesn’t leave me with muscle pains unlike the heavy exercise routines similar to HIIT.

The stretching routine also target the areas of my body that has the strains from seating through the whole day.

It isn’t gender specific and so anyone can also try it. It will require a simple yoga mat since there are positions that involve kneeling. It’s gonna hurt without the mat and so I strongly suggest to have one or any other mat that can serve as padding for your knees.

Lastly, the routine doesn’t require any specific workout tools or equipment and so it won’t cost you a penny.
