Re: Aikido at Work
I don't do any formal or group stretching while at work, but I do the various aiki taiso wrist stretches fairly often throughout the day (I don't need to get out of my chair to do those, and can even do them when I'm stuck sitting in a meeting or whatnot). I occasionally do other stretches on an "as-needed" basis.
I even get coworkers occasionally asking if I know stretching exercises for whatever body part happens to be ailing them. So... I figure I must be doing something right!
If you are going to be leading stretching exercises, keep it to the simple stuff that any stiff, out-of-shape person can do even in their present state. I would also throw in the basic breathing exercises.
