Many employees suffer from back pain. The same posture, like when you are sitting or standing for a long time, fatigues your back and compromises your performance. With this mini-training you can strengthen your back, avoiding wrong postures.

At the end of a long day at work, many of us are often tired. This also affects the posture: the shoulders hang forward and the back is crooked. Those who sit for a long time in front of a screen should take a regular break. If you do these three exercises on the office chair, you will strengthen the muscles of your back, fill up with new energy, and prevent health problems.
