Why it helps

Sitting for long stretches can leave you stiff and drained. Standing and moving briefly may help your energy and focus hold up through the day.

How to do it

  1. Set a quiet repeating timer for one hour.
  2. When it rings, stand up and walk to get water or look out a window.
  3. Stretch your arms overhead before sitting back down.
