Modern life has us spending hours sitting at a desk, commuting, or slouched on the sofa gazing up at the TV screen. As a result, you might notice stiffness creeping into your daily routine, or even worse, when you're trying to get comfortable for a good night's sleep.

Instead of ignoring the tension or twinges, you can benefit from working some mobility exercises into your routine. The good news is that this needn't take up hours of your week.
