Calm yourself with leg raising exercise


Push your seat far from your work area and keeping your abdominal area at a 90 degree edge from your thighs, gradually lift the legs till your body frames an L shape. Try holding your legs up and gradually extend the feet forward and in reverse. Delicately lower the legs however ensure your feet don't contact the ground. Repeat the activity 10 times. 

Another variation of this exercise involves using the chair to rest your foot, while trying to touch your toes with your hands. Repeat 10 times on each side. 

Let’s do a chair squat

Before starting, stand in front of your chair showing back with your legs and shoulder width separated. Hunch down like you are perched on the seat however without really touching it. Keep up a legitimate position: back straight, knees over the feet, weight on the rear areas. Keep your hands together, arms twisted at the elbows. Straighten your legs to return to the starting position. Repeat this for 10 mins.

Pamper your thighs

While seated around your work area, get a thick journal or a heap of printing paper piece and keep it between your thighs. Squash your legs inwards ensuring the heap gets pressed by the thighs. Keep pressing for not less than a minute and then release gradually.
