Sitting at your computer for long hours can lead to back stiffness. Break up your workday with easy exercises that stretch and tone muscles that support your back. Even deep breathing exercises tone your core muscles for a strong back and flatter stomach. If you have back pain, please see your healthcare provider. These exercises are not a substitute for professional advice.

5 Minute Easy Office Pilates at Your Desk: Fitness 9 to 5. Join me for a quick and easy 5 minute Pilates breathing session at your desk when you're at the office or working at home. It takes only 5 minutes to benefit from this powerful diaphragmatic breathing style that can help you relieve tension and stress.
Pilates breathing exercises tone your deep abdominal muscles, improve your posture, strengthen your breathing muscles, increase body awareness and the mind-body connection and, if you add a kegel, strengthen your pelvic floor muscles.
This online quick and easy Pilates instruction is for beginners or anyone at any level. Chair Pilates at your desk is easy to do and can provide a much needed break from long hours at your computer. Easy exercises you can do at your desk are important to provide a quick 5 minute break.
I have written 3 books on Pilates exercises and strongly believe in the benefits of this practice, particularly for preventing or reducing lower back pain.
