Stretching and tightening of body muscles—chest and the gap between the shoulders—makes this a complete muscular workout. Usually, the sedentary work results in the first becoming short and extremely tight and the second in being stretched and strained.

Make a kind of inhalation; then, on the exhale, pull back the back of your shoulder bladder towards the rear and hold your hands in front of your chest and stretch them far. Sitting will cause shallow breathing and a contraction of the chest, which will limit the body's oxygen intake and cause a loss of attention in a somewhat short amount of time. This exercise helps the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles relax, therefore deepening the breath. What to do is the concern here. You should split your shoulder-width feet and bring your hands to the elbow lock in front of the chest.

Raise the left side of the ribcage first then pull the right side of the ribs in the inhalation. The shoulders, kept in a stiff posture, drop and stretch forward with the collarbones during the exhalation. Usually stressed and unable to perform their roles, the rhomboid muscles and the lower fibers of the trapezius muscle lower shoulder blades under a sitting position. This results in bad shoulder posture and overstrain of trapezius. The activity releases the tension and tones the muscles, so improving the problem.

What then has to be done? Your arms should be hanging down your trunk, your feet together with a shoulder distance. During an inhale, you have to raise your shoulders and squeeze your shoulder blades to your back. Pull the shoulder blades down and extend the shoulders apart with the exhaled action. There is no movement in the lower back when seated, hence once you spend a lot of time in the chair, the back gets rather stiff and worn out. The movements of the pelvis help muscles to stretch and tone themselves.

The weight is taken off the lower back as the abs begin to hold it, therefore preventing future curvature of the back. Where should one go? To make little space between the seat and your lower back, back off the chair. Plant your feet on the ground. Lift your head diagonally up and arch your lumber during the inhale. Exhale, arch your back toward the chair to make it curve. You can also tilt your head down simultaneously. This exercise tones intercostal muscles, increases the area the diaphragm can move, and works the oblique abdominal muscles, therefore conditioning the muscles used during breathing.

Other body parts more clearly engage in the respiratory process, thereby contributing to the increase in the oxygen intake into the body and relieving the head. What then has to be done? Sit on an armchair or a chair, legs together on the floor. Inspired to tilt to the right and open the left ribs, let air fill them. Reach maximum amplitude, then start to exhale from the bottom of the abdomen and gently return to starting posture. Apply the same on the other side. Usually in case of sitting, the head sticks out to stretch and tighten the muscles on the back section.

Less difficult will be the workout restoring neck into its natural posture as well as eliminating overstraining-balancing the head above the chest. And what ought we to do? Sitting straight, extend your neck; the tip of your head should be up-turned. Pressing the chin on the neck and trying to lengthen the nape will help the strong forward first then backward pushing of the chin. Maintaining this position for two to three seconds, release your neck. Unlike those on the back of the neck, the muscles on the front of the neck are often shortened rather regularly.
