Everyone knows how important it is to be healthy. And everyone also knows how hard it is to fit health and wellness into a working day filled with meetings, more meetings, traffic, deadlines, and probably 613 other things. Yes, you need to take care of yourself, but who has the time? That’s why we’ve created 4-Minute Workplace Workouts. Give Yourself a Hug consists of 3 exercises designed to help you improve your strength, circulation and flexibility while reducing your risk of repetitive-motion injury.
