8 Best Office Exercises to Stay Active When Sitting All Day

2. Neck stretch.

To alleviate neck and shoulder tension, perform the following side tilt stretch.

• Starting Position: Stand with your feet hip-width apart, arms relaxed at your sides.
• Execution: Gently tilt your head toward your right shoulder, aiming to bring your ear close to your shoulder without raising the shoulder. Hold this position for 5 to 10 seconds, feeling a stretch along the left side of your neck. Return to the starting position and repeat on the left side. Perform several sets, gradually working up to 10 repetitions on each side.

This simple stretch can help reduce stiffness from prolonged sitting and enhance neck.
