Why this matters

Why bother?

A 9-6 desk job destroys your posture, hips, and spine. 10 minutes daily prevents the chronic back pain that hits in your 30s and never leaves.

How often

Daily beats weekly marathon sessions.

Best time: Morning to wake up, OR evening before bed for better sleep. Either works — pick one.

Pro tip

Hip flexors and chest openers. That's where desk work damages you most.

Common mistake

Only stretching when you're already sore — maintenance mode wins.

What happens if you skip

Chronic lower back pain in your 30s-40s, reduced mobility for life.
