About this routine
Think of this as your daily antidote to the desk. It combines mobility, light strength, and a stretch-down so that sitting all day doesn't tighten you up and weaken your posture. Twelve minutes is all it takes to hit reset — do it most days and your body will thank you.
FAQ
Is once a day enough to counter sitting?
It helps a lot, but movement throughout the day matters too. Pair this routine with short walking or stretching breaks.
What's the best time of day to do the Daily Reset?
Whenever you'll stick with it — after work, on a lunch break, or first thing in the morning all work well.
