Synopsis

Today’s working life, long hours spent at a desk increase physical inactivity, leading to postural imbalances, musculoskeletal problems, and a decline in overall quality of life. This situation affects not only physical health but also mental and emotional well-being. Movement has therefore become a fundamental and indispensable necessity in response to these multifaceted effects.

This book aims to offer a practical, evidence-based exercise approach that supports the body under modern working conditions. By combining dynamic movements that enhance cardiovascular capacity with the postural alignment, breathing, and core stability principles of Pilates, this method provides a functional and holistic perspective.

The content of this book is designed to develop body awareness, improve movement quality, and promote sustainable strength in daily life activities. The exercises are presented in a safe and accessible structure, specifically tailored to the needs of individuals who work at a desk.

This work serves as a guiding resource for desk workers in particular, as well as for anyone seeking to make movement a natural part of everyday life. By contributing to the reconstruction of the relationship between body and movement, the book emphasizes that movement is not merely a physical act, but a key component of holistic well-being.
