Stay fat-free and feeling great by channeling your inner yogi-at work! Of course, pulling out your yoga mat might cause some commotion at the office. Instead, do each of these inconspicuous stretches for five seconds.
Start by stimulating a huge yawn, opening your mouth and stretching your legs and arms wide.
Next, drop your pencil and do the scan. While seated, place your hands on your knees and bend forward slowly, turning your head from right to left as you look for it.
Now, get up from your desk and head over to the filing cabinet. Do the file search by bending down and shifting your weight forward to stretch your thighs as you rifle through a drawer.
Finish with a copier lunge while you wait, shifting your body sideways while ensuring that your bent knee doesn’t pass your ankle. Now you’ve secretly stretched your way through even the most stagnant of work days!
