Movement 1 – Wall Cogs

The Desk Jockey Workout is one of the many 5 minute workouts from my book. Feel Better in 5. It is particularly good if you spend most of your day sitting down, perhaps looking at screens. It can be incredibly helpful for back pain, neck pain, shoulder discomfort and general stiffness. Each of the 4 movements should be done in sequence. Quality is much more important than quantity. For detailed written instructions on how to do each movement, please see pages 169-177 of my book, Feel Better in 5.

This video demonstrates the first out of four movements in the Desk Jockey Workout’ – it is called ‘Wall Cogs’. This exercise will open up and mobilise your shoulder blades, spine, pelvis and ribcage. It can take a little while to get the hang of this movement but it really is worth persevering. Let me know below how you get on.
