Working at the computer is supposedly easy, clean and should not tire. But why do you have pain in your arms, wrists, hands, thighs, and the cross? Because you are not exercising. Thanks to the exercises, you will free yourself from muscle aches and tensions.

Computer exercises: stretching your fingers will relieve them of the tension caused by repetitive movements

  • Raise your hands to eye level - palms with the backs to your face, fingers wide apart - stretch them as much as possible.
  • Quickly bend your fingers one by one, starting with the smallest. Clench them into a fist. The thumb on the outside of the fist should be around the index finger.
  • Clenching your fists tightly, bend your wrists (elbows are stationary) and twist them so that the fists face each other. You can hit them with your knuckles at the base of your fingers. Repeat 8 times.

  • Take a deep breath and raise your arms as high as possible.
  • Keep them up and tense while holding your breath and mentally counting to five.
