Flexibility & Adaptability: Why Stretching is the Key to Better Health?
26.09.2021
Do you feel exhausted even after a full night’s sleep? Constant fatigue may be a sign of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) or simply frequent tiredness that doesn’t improve with rest. This condition is characterized by unrefreshing sleep, poor concentration, and memory issues, making physical activity feel like an additional burden.
While exercise may seem counterintuitive for a tired body, studies show that structured movement programs are among the most effective methods to restore energy, improve focus, and fight fatigue.
How Does Movement Help with Chronic Fatigue?
Regular but carefully paced physical activity at work can significantly improve endurance, muscle strength, and energy levels. Research suggests that light office exercises, stretching, and relaxation techniques enhance circulation, increase oxygen supply, and stimulate energy production.
Prolonged sitting worsens fatigue by reducing blood flow and straining muscles, particularly in the back, neck, and shoulders. That’s why the CHAIR UP workplace wellness program offers adapted exercises that help restore energy without causing overexertion.
Workplace Exercises to Reduce Fatigue
1. Stretching to Relieve Tension
Dynamic stretching enhances circulation and mobility. Simple movements such as neck, arm, and back stretches reduce stiffness and help release muscle tension.
2. Breathing Exercises for More Energy
Controlled breathing is incredibly effective for improving concentration and reducing workplace stress. Try deep diaphragmatic breathing—inhale slowly through your nose, hold for a few seconds, and exhale deeply through your mouth.
3. Light Exercises to Activate the Body
Just a few minutes of movement can make a huge difference. Try seated knee lifts, shoulder rotations forward and backward, or slow chair squats.
