--------------------------
Backwards Lean
This exercise helps stretch the back muscles. When you sit your posture tends to hunch due to gravity. By stretching your back you prevent poor sitting posture.

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and hands on lower back.
Looking straight ahead, slowly lean back, keeping legs straight.
----------------------------
Calf Stretch
Prolonged sitting can lead to poor blood circulation in the lower limbs. This exercise will help move stale blood out of the lower limbs and will help to keep the calf muscles flexible.

Raise a leg so that it is straight.
Point your toes towards you.
Hold for few seconds.
Point away, hold for few seconds.

Double Chin
This stretch repositions the discs and vertebrae of the neck. Usually computer users push out their chin as they strain to see the monitor.

Sit up straight, looking straight ahead.
