Remember supermodel Cindy Crawford who was famous for her challenging workouts with personal trainer Rado whose nickname was “the killer whale”? In a recent interview, she shared how much she’d changed her approach towards exercise over the years. She went from working out until utter exhaustion, to now prioritising being injury free. Currently in her mid-fifties, she’s added much more stretching and Pilates to her exercise routine.
It’s been over a year since the pandemic started. At first, only a few companies were encouraging people to work from home. Then things snowballed and now mostly everyone who has an office job is working from home. It has become the new reality to use your kitchen table as your desk and to have (quite a few) Zoom meetings whilst sitting in bed. We've all had to adapt in this crazy world we're now living in.
Sitting in front of a computer for a long time every day can significantly affect your body, especially nowadays so many of us working from home. Whether you’re propped up at a kitchen table or another temporary workstation, you may not have the same supportive setup that you would in an office. While all that excess typing and minimal moving may be good for your career, it’s not all that great for your body. This lack of variation, along with hunching the shoulders and an uncomfortable chair, can cause back pain, headaches, tension, and tightness in your back, neck, and shoulders.
