Chin tucks are a great way to not only exercises your neck muscles, but they also stretch them out as well. This simple movement often helps reset the muscles to reduce stress on the neck, head, and shoulder area.

Shoulder/scapular squeezes help stretch the pec muscles that can become tight when your shoulders roll forward, and they strengthen the upper back muscles.

Sit to stand or even squats are a great way to get the whole body moving without having to go anywhere. Keeping the blood circulating, especially in the legs will help prevent swelling and possibly even DVTs.
