Mobility warm-up for desk workers

A warm-up should help you move and raise body temperature. For desk workers, begin with easy breathing, shoulder circles, thoracic rotations, hip shifts and controlled bodyweight squats.

Move through comfortable ranges for five to eight minutes. The goal is readiness, not forcing flexibility or creating fatigue before the main session.

If a movement causes sharp pain, stop and adjust. Persistent symptoms deserve assessment from a qualified health professional.
