                   APPENDIX B: EXERCISES FOR OFFICE WORKERS
                   Stop, get up and move
                   Getting up and walking around is the best exercise you can get to provide a break
                   from sitting, concentrating and using the muscles of the arms and hands. About
                   every 20 to 30 minutes is a guide to how often it is helpful to move around.
                   Even getting up for 20 to 30 seconds to pick up papers from the photocopier
                   or get some water is a way to change your posture and give muscles a chance
                   to recover.
                   S-t-r-e-t-c-h and check!
                   Stretching exercises help to relax muscles which have been working and
                   move those which have been in a fixed position. If possible, stand up to do
                   your stretches.
B.1 Neck stretch   While you are exercising, read the notes alongside each instruction and consider
                   whether your workstation is adjusted to suit you. Refer to Section 2 for
                   information on job design.
                   • Do a few of these exercises a few times every day.
                   • Dots show the muscles that you are exercising.
                   • Make sure you relax and perform them gently.
                   • Hold the stretch or repeat as indicated on the diagram.
                   • Do not over-stretch.
                   • Stop if you feel discomfort when performing an action.
                   • Remember to do each side.
                   Neck
                   Neck stretch
                   Keeping your chin tucked in, gently lower ear to shoulder and hold for 10 seconds
                   on either side. Repeat several times. See Figure B.1.
B.2 Head turns     Head turns
                   Turn head slowly to look over left shoulder. Turn head the other way. Repeat
                   several times. See Figure B.2.
                   Chin tucks
                   Raise the head to straighten the neck. Tuck the chin in and upwards creating a
                   double chin. This also results in a forward tilt of the head. Repeat several times.
                   See Figure B.3.
                   Check neck posture
                   • Position the top of your screen at eye level.
                   • Use a document holder directly beside or below the screen – it saves you
                     looking down.

                                                              EXERCISES FOR OFFICE WORKERS
                                          Shoulders
                                          Shoulder rolls
                                          Circle shoulders forward several times, then backwards. Repeat 3 to 5 times.
                                          See Figure B.4.
                                          Check shoulder posture
                                          • Relax your shoulders and rest your hands on your lap. Bend your elbows to
                                            no more than 90 degrees and check the height of your finger tips against your
                                            current work height. If the work (keyboard or desk) is higher than your hands
                                            you may be hunching your shoulders unnecessarily. If so, try and raise your
                                            chair height or lower your desk height and try and relax your shoulders
                                            while working.
                                          Wrists, hands and arms
B.4 Shoulder rolls
                                          Wrist and elbow stretch
                                          Interlace fingers, palms outward, and straighten arms in front. Hold for 10 seconds
                                          and repeat several times. See Figure B.5.
                                          Wrist stretch
                                          Straighten your arm in front and bend your wrist forward, gently assist the stretch
                                          with your other hand. Hold for 10 seconds then stretch your wrist back and hold
                                          for 10 seconds. Repeat with other arm. See Figure B.6.
                                          Check hand and wrist posture
                                          • While keying, keep your wrist straight while your fingers are suspended over
                                            the keyboard.
                                          • Keep elbows at keyboard level. This may mean adjusting the desk or chair
                                            height.
                                          • Don’t rest your wrists on the desk or keyboard while keying. Keep hands
                                            suspended.
                                          • Rest on the desk between periods of keying.

                                                              EXERCISES FOR OFFICE WORKERS
                                          Legs
                                          Foot pump
                                          Stand up, holding the chair for balance if necessary, and alternately raise heels and
                                          toes. Repeat 10 times. See Figure B.10.
                                          Check leg comfort
                                          • If the seat of your chair is digging into the backs of your thighs check that it is
                                            not too high or whether it is tilted backwards.
                                          • If the seat is too high, lower the chair and desk or use a foot rest to support
                                            your feet.
                                          • Also check the tilt of the seat and, if necessary, adjust it to a horizontal position.

B.10 Foot pump                            Eye exercise
                                          Sit up straight, face forward and repeat this sequence several times without
                                          moving your head. Look up, then down. Look left, then right. See Figure B.11.
                                          Visual rest
                                          Look up and away from the screen. Focus on a distant object (more than 3 metres
                                          away). For example, look out of the window or at a picture on a far wall. Shift
                                          vision back to screen and refocus. See Figure B.12.
                                          Check eye comfort
                                          • Is there enough light falling on your documents?
                                          • Do windows or light fittings cause glare or reflection on the screen? If so, try
                                            turning the screen or blocking the path of the light.
                                          • Use a screen with a light background when working with text. Software with
                                            a light background for text is more comfortable for the eyes.

Exercises for office workers

  • 1. APPENDIX B EXERCISES FOR OFFICE WORKERS APPENDIX B: EXERCISES FOR OFFICE WORKERS Stop, get up and move Getting up and walking around is the best exercise you can get to provide a break from sitting, concentrating and using the muscles of the arms and hands. About every 20 to 30 minutes is a guide to how often it is helpful to move around. Even getting up for 20 to 30 seconds to pick up papers from the photocopier or get some water is a way to change your posture and give muscles a chance to recover. S-t-r-e-t-c-h and check! Stretching exercises help to relax muscles which have been working and move those which have been in a fixed position. If possible, stand up to do your stretches. B.1 Neck stretch While you are exercising, read the notes alongside each instruction and consider whether your workstation is adjusted to suit you. Refer to Section 2 for information on job design. • Do a few of these exercises a few times every day. • Dots show the muscles that you are exercising. • Make sure you relax and perform them gently. • Hold the stretch or repeat as indicated on the diagram. • Do not over-stretch. • Stop if you feel discomfort when performing an action. • Remember to do each side. Neck Neck stretch Keeping your chin tucked in, gently lower ear to shoulder and hold for 10 seconds on either side. Repeat several times. See Figure B.1. B.2 Head turns Head turns Turn head slowly to look over left shoulder. Turn head the other way. Repeat several times. See Figure B.2. Chin tucks Raise the head to straighten the neck. Tuck the chin in and upwards creating a double chin. This also results in a forward tilt of the head. Repeat several times. See Figure B.3. Check neck posture • Position the top of your screen at eye level. • Use a document holder directly beside or below the screen – it saves you looking down. B.3 Chin tucks 68 WORKSAFE VICTORIA / OFFICEWISE – A GUIDE TO HEALTH & SAFETY IN THE OFFICE
  • 2. APPENDIX B EXERCISES FOR OFFICE WORKERS Shoulders Shoulder rolls Circle shoulders forward several times, then backwards. Repeat 3 to 5 times. See Figure B.4. Check shoulder posture • Relax your shoulders and rest your hands on your lap. Bend your elbows to no more than 90 degrees and check the height of your finger tips against your current work height. If the work (keyboard or desk) is higher than your hands you may be hunching your shoulders unnecessarily. If so, try and raise your chair height or lower your desk height and try and relax your shoulders while working. Wrists, hands and arms B.4 Shoulder rolls Wrist and elbow stretch Interlace fingers, palms outward, and straighten arms in front. Hold for 10 seconds and repeat several times. See Figure B.5. Wrist stretch Straighten your arm in front and bend your wrist forward, gently assist the stretch with your other hand. Hold for 10 seconds then stretch your wrist back and hold for 10 seconds. Repeat with other arm. See Figure B.6. Check hand and wrist posture • While keying, keep your wrist straight while your fingers are suspended over the keyboard. • Keep elbows at keyboard level. This may mean adjusting the desk or chair height. • Don’t rest your wrists on the desk or keyboard while keying. Keep hands suspended. • Rest on the desk between periods of keying. B.5 Wrist and elbow stretch B.6 Wrist stretch WORKSAFE VICTORIA / OFFICEWISE – A GUIDE TO HEALTH & SAFETY IN THE OFFICE 69
  • 3. APPENDIX B EXERCISES FOR OFFICE WORKERS Upper and lower back Upper and lower back stretch Interlace fingers and turn palms upwards above head; straighten arms then slowly lean slightly from side to side. Repeat movement several times. See Figure B.7. Back arching Stand up. Support your lower back with hands and gently arch back and hold for 5 to 10 seconds. Repeat as often as is needed. See Figure B.8. Pectoral stretch Raise both arms to shoulder height and bend elbows. Pull both elbows back slowly to bring shoulder blades towards each other. Repeat several times. See Figure B.9. B.7 Upper and lower back stretch Check back support • Sit well back in your chair – if your feet need support, use a footrest. • Adjust the backrest on your chair to support your lower back. B.8 Back arching B.9 Pectoral stretch 70 WORKSAFE VICTORIA / OFFICEWISE – A GUIDE TO HEALTH & SAFETY IN THE OFFICE
  • 4. APPENDIX B EXERCISES FOR OFFICE WORKERS Legs Foot pump Stand up, holding the chair for balance if necessary, and alternately raise heels and toes. Repeat 10 times. See Figure B.10. Check leg comfort • If the seat of your chair is digging into the backs of your thighs check that it is not too high or whether it is tilted backwards. • If the seat is too high, lower the chair and desk or use a foot rest to support your feet. • Also check the tilt of the seat and, if necessary, adjust it to a horizontal position. Eyes B.10 Foot pump Eye exercise Sit up straight, face forward and repeat this sequence several times without moving your head. Look up, then down. Look left, then right. See Figure B.11. Visual rest Look up and away from the screen. Focus on a distant object (more than 3 metres away). For example, look out of the window or at a picture on a far wall. Shift vision back to screen and refocus. See Figure B.12. Check eye comfort • Is there enough light falling on your documents? • Do windows or light fittings cause glare or reflection on the screen? If so, try turning the screen or blocking the path of the light. • Use a screen with a light background when working with text. Software with a light background for text is more comfortable for the eyes. B.11 Eye exercise B.12 Visual rest WORKSAFE VICTORIA / OFFICEWISE – A GUIDE TO HEALTH & SAFETY IN THE OFFICE 71
