I did this five-minute stretching routine every morning for a week and it was one of the best things I've done for my physical and mental health

A woman performs yoga in a bedroom. She is on a yoga mat at the foot of her bed, one leg stretched out in front and the other bent on the floor, while she reaches forward with her torso. .

I regularly deal with aches and pains during work hours, whether it's tight hips when I'm sitting at my desk or a knot in my shoulder that just won't go away.

I know that I should be stretching more to offset the effects of my desk job, but I struggle to find the time.
