WORKOUT SEQUENCE
For individuals who spend extended periods working at a desk or remaining sedentary, we have curated a gentle yet effective workout to help you revitalize and get your body moving:
- Desk Leg Extensions – 10 repetitions
- Desk Seated Ankle Stretch – 10 repetitions
- Desk Seated Chair Twist – 10 repetitions
- Desk Seated Head Tilts – 10 repetitions
- Desk Seated Leg Circles – 10 repetitions
Repeat each set two times, completing a total of 10 sets for each movement and performing two full repetitions of the entire sequence. Aim to incorporate this workout into your routine 2-3 times per week.
Key Terms:
Sets: Refers to the number of times you will repeat a specific exercise for the designated number of repetitions.
For instance, you perform 10 desk leg extensions, then rest for 30-60 seconds (that constitutes one set). After resting, proceed to perform 10 desk seated ankle stretches, followed by another rest. The repetition cycle begins when you restart the workout sequence from the first movement.
By integrating this workout into your routine, you can counteract the negative effects of prolonged sitting and promote your overall well-being. Consistency is key in achieving optimal results.
