Free health & fitness tip: When to do the sequence (step 2 of 9 from "Stretch Routine You Can Do at a Desk").

Mid-morning (10–11 AM) and mid-afternoon (2–3 PM). These are the points where you have accumulated enough sitting to benefit and where a break improves focus anyway. Do not stretch cold first thing in the morning — that is when discs are most hydrated and spinal flexion is riskiest.

Set a recurring calendar event or a phone alarm. The routine only works if you actually do it. Knowing the stretches is worthless without the trigger.

Pro tip: Pair it with a water refill. Walk to the kitchen, then stretch. Two habits stacked.
