Are you crouched over a keyboard at work? Do you find stress in your shoulders and neck is a part of every day? What about your lower back? Try an exercise called 'Seated Star' - you can do it right at your desk.
Here's how:

1. Sit in your chair, feet planted, back straight.
2. Clasp your hands behind your back until you feel a gentle tension.
3. Exhaling, lean forward from your hips, bring your chest to your thighs and continue to lift your arms behind your head. Inhale, rise.

No, we're not going to suggest a protein shake. But we will suggest a little lunch time pick-me-up that can actually turn your work zone, into a fun zone.

Power Kicking has become quite the craze.
Here's how:

1. Warm up by taking a walk around the office.
2. Stand at an angle with your left hip and shoulder forward - knees bent, fists together to protect your chin.
3. Pull your right knee forward and up - your left knee should remain soft.
4. Snap your right leg out - kick at an 'invisible' object.

Afternoon Survival Techniques

So you've just had lunch and now you feel like taking a nap. Was it something you ate? More than likely it's NOT - although a big lunch can make you feel more sleepy or tired than a light lunch. Interestingly, by 3 pm you're into a high energy groove. How does that happen? Well, your body is rebounding from the lunch time low and is powering up. You're more alert, your handshake is firmer and nothing can keep you down.
