Work is a pain in the neck.

Literally. If you are like millions of other Americans, you sit in front of the computer for 99% of your day, stuck in a cube somewhere in Suburbiaville. Five days of this routine is not only draining on the psyche, but on the body too. Even the simple act of sitting can do harm on our necks, shoulders and backs. It’s enough to make you quit, but don’t. Instead, stir things up a bit. Literally.
If you apply the principles of Pilates to your workday and take just a few moments to move and stretch the body, you can do wonders for your stiff and angry muscles. It can be as easy as rolling out your shoulders or readjusting your posture. Take some tips from NeverSayDiet.com and start making small adjustments in between your keyboard taps and mouse clicks. Before long, you’ll start feeling the tension ease and release from where you feel it most. Plus, it’s better than taking your aggression out on your computer monitor…or that creepy co-worker with the Metallica breath. But he’s a different story.
