Simple Stretches You Can Do at Your Desk for Increased Energy - Dumb Little Man

If you ever experience an afternoon slump, there is an easy way to revive your energy. Follow this simple stretching series and you’ll feel like a completely new person. Why does this work?

There are 3 reasons. Stretching causes you to breathe deeply bringing oxygen to your brain, in effect waking you up. Secondly, stretching releases the physical form of stress that is stored in your muscles. Storing that tension takes constant work by your muscles. Relieving that work frees up energy. Lastly, stretching helps your body remove toxins from your tissues. When you breathe deeply and move your body your lymph system is activated, cleansing the body of pollutants. The end result. You feel great!
