2 minute lower back reset for desk workers ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€๐Ÿ’ป

If youโ€™re someone who spends hours at your desk, constantly shifting in your chair trying to find that comfortable spot (we see you), these two simple moves are exactly what you need.

Why these work? Long hours of sitting create tension in your glutes and hamstrings, which directly impacts your lower back comfort. These movements target exactly what your desk-bound body needs.

โœจ Do each exercise for 30 seconds per side

โœจ Perfect for a quick office break

โœจ Can be done right by your desk

โœจ No equipment needed
