SIT ALL DAY? || If you have to sit all day, what are you doing too help reverse the damage of all the sitting? Did you know that sitting is consider “the new smoking” for our generation because it has THAT many negative side effects on your body. Sitting is actually when we place the highest amount of stress on our low back, particularly the discs in between the vertebrae! Did you know that your disc pressure is highest when you sit, second highest is standing and the least is lying down. So if we sit for just a couple hours or entire day, we need to be helping our body recover. Getting up and walking around for at least 2 minutes alone every hour can help combat those negative side effects. Dr. Lundahl is demonstrating a series of stretches targeting the key muscles that tighten & shorten up on us while we sit. Do these stretches slow & w/ intent. No bouncing. Go to your limit & not past (when it takes your breath away). Hip Flexor → Hips → Hamstring → Quad → Calf. Cheers!
