Even if you just stand up and sit down, you should try to move once every hour. Sitting in the same position for a long period of time can lead to pain. Stand up and do some stretch, take a laptop/ walk around the house or grab a snack if you need a reason to get up and move.
- Get up from your sitting position at least once every hour for a minute or two.
- Use this time to stretch, walk around the house, get a drink or snack, or step to balcony for some fresh air or enjoy your blossom flowers. These short breaks will go a long way in preventing stress and back pain.
