Try this thoracic stretch, if you spend most of your day sitting!

Did you know that people who spend the majority of their day in a sitting position are at a higher risk of developing serious conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease?? 
Most of those same people aslo suffer from the strain and stress these positions put on our spine and it's surrounding soft tissue.  Slouching down in your chair, hunching over the keyboard and rounding your back are common postural faux pas.  Yet for most of us, sitting at that desk is unavoidable, so what can you do?
✔️ Take a break from sitting every 30 minutes and stretch, or walk around (this is an example of a great stretch here!)
✔️ Stay active outside of work, or whenever possible.  A study by the Mayo Clinic found that even 60 minutes of moderate exercise a day countered the effects of sitting.
