3 Stretches you can do at your desk

7/17/2018

Taking a few minutes for yourself to stretch at work can help regain your focus, reinvigorate you, and help prevent injuries.

Here are 3 quick and low-key stretches you can do at your desk and then get back to work:

1) Trunk Rotation
While still seated, sit tall and straighten your back. Gently rotate your core and shoulders to one side as you grab the knee of the side you’re turning towards. Hold, then repeat with the opposite side.

2) Shoulder Stretch
Sit up straight with your hands on your thighs. Roll your shoulders forward and then up into a shrug and hold for a couple seconds. Release the shrug as you move your shoulders back down and squeeze your shoulder blades together.

3) Neck Rotations
Sit up straight and tilt your head back towards the ceiling. Rotate your head clockwise and drop your chin towards your chest at the halfway point. Continue until you’ve done a full rotation. Then reverse direction and repeat.

Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years. My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday. Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change. Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds. I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons. Something was missing. I was thin, but I wasn't fit. I wasn't healthy. I could feel it in my insides. I was 136 pounds and a size 8. Something didn't add up. I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods. 90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4).

Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it. I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health. My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born. Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you. Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN. Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose.

Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business. Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at [email protected]
