Exercising at your desk or computer terminal will help you to relieve tension. Whenever time permits, try one or more of the following.
Inhale deeply through your nose and then exhale through your mouth. Repeat six times.
Raise your arms high above your head; stretch one hand towards the ceiling, then the other, and then both together; relax. Repeat twice.
Clasp your hands behind your head to keep it still and press back your neck muscle to loosen and stretch it. Hold for 10 seconds and relax. Repeat five times.
With your arms by your sides, push your shoulders back as if to make your shoulder blades meet; hold for 5 seconds and relax. Now push your shoulders forward; hold for 5 seconds and relax. Repeat three times.
Hold your arms straight out at the sides, with your palms up, and slowly rotate them in small circles; do 20 forwards, then 20 backwards.
For your hands, wrists and fingers, hold both arms straight out in front with the palms down. Keeping your fingers straight, gently bend your hands back at the wrists as far as you can, then bring them forward. Now spread your fingers as wide as you can; hold for 5 seconds, then make a tight fist.
