5 simple mobility drills to do throughout the workday.

Neck Circles: Stand up tall, with your shoulder relaxed. Make large circles

with your neck, thinking about drawing a circle with the top of your head. Re-

peat 5 times in one direction, then do 5 in the other direction. Try to make the

circles progressively larger.

Shoulder Rolls: With your arms at your sides, make big circles with your

shoulders. Roll the shoulders backwards, focusing on keeping the arms loose

(let the shoulders do all of the work). Do 5 backwards, then reverse direction

and do 5 forward. Try to make the circles progressively larger.

Cross: Spread your arms out wide, keeping the hands at around shoul-

der level. Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together. Make a

“thumb’s up” gesture with your hands. Keeping the shoulder blades

squeezed, twist the shoulders so that the thumbs point behind you,

then reverse the movement so that the thumbs face the floor. Repeat

10 times.

Upper Body Twist: From the previous position, bend your elbow so that

your thumbs are touching your chest (the elbows stay in line with your

shoulders). Leading with the elbows, twist your body to one side. Try to

follow your elbow with your eyes. Now twist the body in the other direc-

tion, again following your elbow with your gaze. Repeat 10 times.

Hip Circles: Bring your arms to your sides and let

them relax. Make sure that your feet are around

shoulder-width apart. Make a large circle with

your hips, trying to make the circle bigger with

each progressive repetition. Do this 5 times, then

reverse the movement in the other direction 5

times.

FACT: Healthy, mobile joints make you 75% more

unicorn-like in your daily office interactions.
