Keep this tab open while you work, and you will hear a beep when it is time.

The breaks

Eight quick moves for your desk.

The timer works through them in turn. Each one takes a minute or two, and none needs you to change clothes.

  1. Stand up and walk. A minute to the kitchen, down the hall or up a flight of stairs.
  2. Chin tucks. Sit tall and slide your chin straight back. Hold 2 seconds, 10 times.
  3. Shoulder-blade squeeze. Back and down, hold 3 seconds, 10 times.
  4. Chest opener. Hands clasped behind you, chest up, 20 seconds.
  5. Standing hip-flexor stretch. One foot back, hips tucked under, 20 seconds a side.
  6. Calf raises. Hold your desk, up onto your toes and down slowly, 15 times.
  7. Seated figure-4. Ankle over the other knee, sit tall, lean in a little, 20 seconds a side.
  8. Upper-back extension. Hands behind your head, lean back over your chair, 5 slow breaths.
