Steps that can prevent you from being mechanical

I know, it may sound weird, but give it a thought

, what if some you turn into a mythical stone creature sitting in front of the computer. This may happen because today most of us place ourselves in front of the computer and staring at the screen either for eight hours r even more. This damages our muscle by making it inactive, because it does not experience activity, and the tiny movements that happen over and over are of not much use. When youre extremely busy it is obvious that you will have no time for exercise in your day today curriculum. At times you realize the importance of movement only when it is too late: when your limbs have already turned to a stone or the management has to mount you on the parapet next to the gargoyles. The good news is that there are some basic movements based on yoga exercises and a simple self massage tool that can keep your circulation up and the threat of becoming a statue down. People who are associated with computers definitely will have a direct link with the mouse as well, and if you hold them for a very long time you will definitely need some sort of maintenance for your wrists and hands. If you think that you can neglect it then I must warn you against it, doing so can subject you to Repetitive Strain Injury and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome that has become very common in the recent times. It can also lead you to the use of a brace, a prescription for muscle relaxers, and in some cases, surgery as well. To maintain good circulation and flexibility in your wrists and hands there are two very important yoga exercises that are my favorite too. The movements are very simple and you can practice them just few times a week. (NOTE: you will find a general overview of these yoga exercises below, but PLEASE check out the FREE Quickfix video for instruction from someone who really knows what shes doing.) For Improved Circulation 1. Stick both arms straight out the sides with your hands wide open and palms facing down. 2. Make a tight fist with all five fingers. 3. Quickly open your hands as wide as you can. 4. Quickly make a tight fist. 5. Repeat this process, increasing the speed with every repetition. 6. Release and slowly lower your hands to your sides. You can feel the blood flowing now, cant you? Do this a few times a week or whenever you feel like you need to get some blood pumping through those tired wrists. For Better Flexibility 1. Stick both arms straight out to the sides. 2. With your palms pointed down, press all four fingers tightly against your thumb. Your hands should look like theyre holding something that you dont want near your body. 3. Hold your hand position and rotate one wrist up and back as far is it will go while your other wrist goes down and back. 4. Now turn the upward facing wrist down and back and turn the other up back. 5. Repeat this process, alternating wrist position. 6. Release and slowly lower your hands to your sides. With practice, you will find that these simple yoga exercises will give a little boost to circulation and flexibility. They not only make you instantly feel a little better, but in the long run they can play a small role in preventing long-term injuries. You can also use a self massage tool for beating the injuries associated with the desk work that involves the least movements. Self massage tool will not only be beneficial for the circulation and loosen muscles but it will also help you to reduce your stress and enables you to concentrate on your work. I would like to present a great example of a simple self massage tool that is a good ol fashioned tennis ball. Listed below are some ways to use a tennis ball to reduce the stress associated with sitting for long hours. Easy Self Massage for Desk Jockeys 1. Take your tennis ball and pin it between your back and the back of your chair (I usually start with the ball in a position against one side of my spine in my lower back). 2. Lean back into the tennis ball, but not so hard that it is at all uncomfortable. 3. Take ten, slow, deep, deliberate breaths. 4. Move the tennis ball to the next position on your back and repeat. If you already have a back pain then the above mentioned exercises are not for you. If you have a constant pain then you need a doctor and not a tennis ball. Just note the point that while using the self massage tool you should not over do it, pressurize yourself beyond your limits is a strict no. It is meant to make you feel good. These are some simple things that you could do so that you are prevented from being an automaton. A regular practice ensures you a better physical health and also improves your mental strength by enabling you to be focused on your work and the overwhelming feeling of wellbeing. Remember to do the obvious in addition to these little yoga exercises. Stand up and walk around from time to time. Get a little fresh air. Walk to lunch. You might also want to keep track of how often you take a chance to get your blood flowing again. Its all too easy to stay stationary for longer than you realize. And before you know it, you end up walking like person made of rock.
