Learning Challenge: Study Stretches

6 Yoga Exercises You Won’t Be Embarrassed to Do at Your Desk

I chose to do the Deskercize challenge this week and I read the article above and tried a few of these stretches out. My favorite of the exercises was the chair twist. I have a pretty weak back and it tends to get really tight when I'm studying for too long so this exercise was nice because it made me feel more loose plus I got a nice popping which relaxed me. I also liked the neck one because I tend to read looking down for so long that my neck gets sore as well, so this was a good one for me. I think it is important to try and stay somewhat active while studying for long periods of time. It normally wakes me up when I try to do anything like this plus if you're in public these stretches can make you look less goofy than say doing jumping jacks. The next few weeks I'm going to try and stretch more because I'm working out again and my muscles can get tight if I am sitting for too long. 

I added this picture just for the representation of stretching. I found it on Pixabay.
