If you sit for more hours in front of computer, then try some yoga exercises. Sitting long hours will lead to stress around the eyes, shoulders and spinal cords. In the end, you may be vulnerable to many ailments and inherent diseases. It is therefore necessary that you should energise your body during office hours too.
Eye Exercise
Sit on a chair comfortably. Keep the eyes wide open. Blink 10 times repeatedly and then relaxed. Close your eyes for few seconds. Repeat the blinking exercises 10 times. Rub your palms together and then keep them on the eyes. Slowly open the eyes in your palms and relaxed. This takes out the stress and tiredness out of your eye muscles. Regular practice will improve the eyesight too.
Neck Exercise
Sit in a relaxed posture, keeping both eyes open. Slowly move it backwards as far as it can comfortably stretching the neck. Again try to stretch your neck sideways till the right ear touches right shoulder. Bring it back the original position. Try on the opposite side too. Drop your head forward and gently put the chin down towards the chest. Rotate your neck as wide as possible so that your right ear glides past the right shoulder. Perform this exercise five times. This will release the stiffness and tension in your neck and shoulders.
Backward Exercise
Sit on the chair placing both hands behind your back. Use palms to support your back inhaling the breath. Elongate your spine by arching upwards and exhale the air. Drop your head backward giving the spine a good stretch. Inhale and come back to the starting position. Repeat the exercise 3-4 rounds. This helps in stretching the spine.
Shoulder and Arm Exercise
Sit on the chair opening the arms straight up to the shoulder level. Then move the shoulders in circles. Clench your fists and place them on shoulders. Keeping this position slowly rotate the arms in clockwise direction at first, and then anticlockwise. Repeat the exercise ten times. This will help the stress from your arms, shoulders and elbows.
