Our bodies are made up of approximately 360 joints, the majority of which are designed to move. If we sit for long periods of time, these joints lose motion and therefore function. This may lead to a variety of issues if we continue with a sedentary lifestyle and don’t incorporate healthy movement into our day. For those of you stuck at your desk, stand up every 20-30 minutes, look away from your screen and perform some chest opening stretches for 30-45 seconds. Balance out screen time for kids with running on the spot or some jumping jacks every 20-30 minutes.
