Wellness Wednesday

Today's Wellness Wednesday is all about stretching.  Many of you work at a desk or are sitting for a majority of your day.  You NEED to take a break every 60 minutes to get up, walk around and maybe do a strecth or two.  Sitting is very bad for your health.  Did you know that if you got up in the morning and did a vigorous 60 minute workout and then sat at your desk for 6 hours, you will undo all the progress that your workout make simply by sitting for an extended period of time???  Sounds crazy but it's true.  Set a timer on your calendar to go off every 60 minutes.  When it goes off, get up, walk around and stretch.  You only need to move for a minute to help you reap big rewards.  Try some of the stretches below either at your desk or at home.  They're made specifically for those sitting for long periods of time!
