With the development of the times, many people increasingly prefer to work in the office. However, once seated for long periods, various physical ailments follow. You may notice that your thighs are getting thicker, and it can even lead to hunching, resulting in an increasingly unattractive posture.
The first movement:
Please sit on a chair with your back straight, arms extended overhead in a prayer position. When you exhale, slowly swing your arms to the right, and you will feel the stretch in your left arm. Inhale as you return to the center, then switch to the other side for the exercise, but remember to keep your arms straight throughout the process.
The second movement:
Still seated on the stool, bend your right elbow while extending your left arm straight to the inside of your right side. Maintain a straight back. As you inhale, exert force with your right arm to stretch your left arm to the right while turning your head to the left. Exhale to return to the center and then switch sides to begin the practice.
The third movement:
This movement does not require you to sit on a chair. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, bend your elbows with fingers interlocked, and place them on the edge of the table. Lean your upper body down, spreading your legs apart, and push your upper body down with force. Try to maintain this position for as long as you can, ensuring your legs are straight. This movement can help open your chest cavity.
The fourth movement:
This movement requires you to sit on the chair, but only at one-third of its length. Extend your left leg straight while keeping your right leg perpendicular to the ground, maintaining a straight back. As you inhale, slowly bend your upper body forward to touch your left foot, typically holding for 15 to 30 seconds. Return to the original sitting position and switch sides. This movement can stretch the muscles in your lower back, thighs, and calves.
The fifth movement:
Still in a standing position, place your hands on the edge of the table, keeping your back straight and your legs straight. As you inhale, lift your left leg backward to your maximum capacity. When exhaling, lower it back down, but do not allow your foot to touch the ground. Switch sides to begin the practice. During this exercise, ensure your back remains straight, your legs extend fully, and try to lift as high as you can without your foot touching the ground as it returns to the starting position.
