   What are some gentle stretches for someone who sits most of the day?

   If you sit for much of the day, gentle movement every hour or so can help with stiffness. Try these, staying in a comfortable range and avoiding bouncing:

   1. Neck stretch — Sit tall and slowly tilt your right ear toward your right shoulder. Hold 15–20 seconds, then switch sides.
   2. Shoulder rolls — Roll your shoulders slowly backward 8–10 times, then forward.
   3. Chest opener — Clasp your hands behind your back (or simply place your hands on your lower back), gently draw your shoulders back, and hold 15–20 seconds.
   4. Upper-back stretch — Clasp your hands in front of you, reach forward, and gently round your upper back. Hold 15–20 seconds.
   5. Seated spinal twist — Sit upright, place one hand on the opposite knee, and gently rotate your torso. Hold 15–20 seconds per side.
   6. Hip-flexor stretch — Stand and take a small step backward with one foot. Keep your torso upright and gently bend the front knee until you feel a stretch at the front of the back hip. Hold 20–30 seconds per side.
   7. Hamstring stretch — Sit near the edge of a chair, extend one leg with the heel on the floor, and gently hinge forward from your hips. Hold 20–30 seconds per side.
   8. Calf stretch — Stand facing a wall, put one foot behind you, keep that heel down, and gently lean toward the wall. Hold 20–30 seconds per side.

   Easy routine: Pick 4–5 of these and spend about 5 minutes, once or twice during the workday. Even better, get up and walk around for a couple of minutes periodically.

   Stop if a stretch causes sharp pain, numbness, tingling, or dizziness.
