Recently, especially after the COVID-19 epidemic, we are all facing the problem of hypodynamia. In simple words, we have started to move less and less, and spend more and more time at home or in the office in front of the computer. I think a lot of people have already faced the consequences of this lifestyle - back pain, posture changes, overweight, and overall poor health. 🤕

Oh, and how hard it is to force yourself to go for a run or visit the gym, a season ticket to which is lonely but very faithfully dusted on the shelf😄! But don't forget that if you are already used to a more relaxed and sedentary lifestyle, a sudden increase in physical activity will feel like serious stress.

As a rehabilitation therapist, I suggest you stick to the following simple rules, and your health will definitely thank you!
1. So, first of all, let's add a little more movement to your workflow. Doing the tasks you have to do at work, you can easily miss how time flies by. I recommend setting yourself a reminder for every hour so you don't forget to take breaks.🔔
2. During these breaks (you'll need literally 5 minutes), be sure to warm up. You can walk to the water cooler, or go to the window.🌆
3. If you don't feel like wandering around the house/office, you can do a short exercise - slow and gentle rotations of the head and hands, raising the shoulders, arching, and straightening the back.🙆‍♂️
4. If you get to work by car, try to park your car away from the office. An extra 5-10 minutes of walking will energize you before you start your work day and help get your blood flowing.🚶
5. For those who work from home, I recommend getting out for a walk as well. Ideally, if time allows, do it in the middle of the work day.☀️

As you can see, the rules are really easy, but the hard part is left... Start following them😁. But trust me, you will feel much better soon after you start!
