I have always been worried about blood clots. I have coworkers who have developed them from excessive sitting, and no one sits more than me during the day. I have the eight hours at work, but then I add at least four hours daily in the train. I really needed this article.
This article provides some exercises to help in the prevention of blood clots. I particularly appreciate ideas of exercises while at your desk, and I will be incorporating some of them into my routine. This will be along with some exercises I do to keep the circulation in my arms. Foot pumps, ankle circles, shoulder rolls and leg raises seem pretty easy. However, it is important to walk as frequently as possible.
