\"Man<\/p>\n

Let's face it, sitting at your computer for long periods trading of time can give you tension in muscles you never even knew you had.<\/p>\n

If your full-time gig is also a desk job, then you are going to start feeling the effects of this lifestyle sooner or later…if you haven't already.<\/p>\n

In this post, I'm going to show you 9 super-simple exercises that you can do at your trading desk to release the tension that can build up when sitting for long periods of time.<\/p>\n

Each exercise will literally only take 1 minute and you can mix and match as you choose.<\/p>\n

Doing these exercises can put you in a better mood, since you will probably be less tense and doing the exercises throughout the day can break up the monotony of quiet periods while trading or at work.<\/p>\n

And they are only one minute each, so you have no excuses!<\/p>\n

Before we get started, I'm not a doctor, nor to I play one on the internet, so although I believe that these exercises will help you, please consult your physician before engaging in these exercises if you have any doubts as to if they are right for you.
