DESKERCISE
Arm Deskercises
An Apple a Day
This "apple picker" stretch relieves tension in your arms, sides and waist. It feels great when done slowly and smoothly, so take your time and dont rush it. Perform the stretch first thing in the morning and periodically throughout the day.
Stretch your arms up, one at a time, as high as you can, as if reaching to pick an apple out of a tree. Repeat 10 times, alternating sides.
End Your Day with a Push-off
These stand-up push-ups are easier than the military kind. Nevertheless, they build up strength in the arms and shoulders and doing them feels great when you are stiff from sitting all day. All you need is a wall to lean on, so stand up and push.
Stand facing a wall, with your feet apart and about 12 inches from the wall.
Rest your palms on the wall at about shoulder height. Bend your elbows and lean toward the wall as far as possible without touching your forearms to the wall. Keep your legs and back straight. Push yourself back to starting position. The farther from the wall you stand, the greater the shoulder effort needed to push back. Gradually increase your distance as you become stronger, but dont exceed two feet.
