"5 daily stretches for everyone - week 1 workout. Week 1 workout for the 12-week fitness project 2022. Anytime of the day, and for everyone, takes less than 5 minutes. Stretch, don't stress," she captioned her video. Take a look.

The covid pandemic has got us homebound. The need to stretch and keep the body moving is more required than ever. As Rujuta Diwekar said, it is important to understand that our body was made with the intention of constant movements. However, with the recent culture of work from home, it is seen that people stay on their chairs or the couch mostly, tied to their computers and it makes the body rust. The more we stop moving our body and stretching it, the more it keeps rusting and leads to various diseases.
