I'm a desk job worker who spends too much time sitting down but this wall stretching routine helps me feel less stiff

A woman sits at a wooden plank desk with a laptop open in front of her. She is stretching her neck towards her right shoulder and massaging it with her left hand. There are plants either side of the laptop and a glass bottle of water.

I spend most of my days sitting down between Monday and Friday when I'm working at my desk. I know this isn't good for my body—humans aren't supposed to sit down all day and doing so can shorten muscles and reduce range of movement in our joints. I regularly do hip stretches to undo the damage of sitting along with moves like pigeon pose to combat this, but I’m always on the lookout for new routines to try.

I recently came across a stretching session from yoga and mobility instructor Liv Townsend, better known online as Livinleggings, which caught my attention. Townsend incorporates a wall into all of the stretches for added resistance.
