Great exercise for people who sit at desks. It's called an Elephant Walk. It targets the muscles in the posterior chain—namely, the back, glutes, hamstrings & calves. Start on a platform & aim for 10 reps each leg. As you get more flexible lower it down to increase mobility.

Another exercise, which I believe that you would concur, is that we need to walk more. So throughout the day, I work from home, I get up every hour and walk around for 2 to 4 minutes. We were not created to sit behind the computer on our butts for hours on end.

This exercise should be mandatory for people who sit desks: It's called a Thoracic Extension. Thoracic extension improves your posture, boosts spinal mobility, and keeps back pain in check. It basically undoes the damage from slouching through life like a desk jockey. Aim for 8 to 12 reps daily and your body will be thanking you.

Do you have lower back pain? A lot of the times, it’s simply because you have a weak posterior chain - glutes/hamstrings/lower back strength Add these at the beginning or end of your next workout! I didn’t get to a 500# squat & deadlift by accident 🧠

This exercise should be mandatory if you sit at a desk. It's called a Glute Bridge Hold. Here's why you need to do this: Your glutes should be one of the strongest muscles in your body. But due to desk jobs & long periods of sitting they get weaker. This puts more pressure on the lower back to support the body causing low back pain. When you sit for hours on end you put pressure on your glute muscles. This keeps them in a lengthened position & tightens the hip flexors making the glutes less likely to fire properly. A simple set of 12-15 reps before or after sitting down can be enough to "wake up" your glutes so they stay activated. Make sure to focus on your butt muscles squeezing at the top of the movement. Remember that humans were not meant to sit at a desk for 8 hours a day. This exercise will help reverse the effects. You might even feel some relief in your low back as a result of doing it.

Great stretch for people who sit at desks. It's called the Child's Pose Lat Stretch. This stretches the low back, hips, and lats which all become tight after long hours of sitting. How to do it: Start by sitting on your knees with your knees slightly apart so your stomach can fit in. Lean forward and stretch your arms in front of you. Walk your hands to one side to feel the stretch in the lats. Hold for a few seconds then do the other side. Do this for 4-6 reps on each side. Your body will thank you for it.

Great stretch for people who sit at desks. It’s called a Cossack Squat. This works your adductor muscles, which are one of the largest muscles in your legs, but due to long periods of sitting, they can become tight and inflexible. The Cossack Squat restores and improves your lower body's range of motion while developing mobility in your hips, knees, hamstrings, and ankles. It also helps you build resilient joints and soft tissues, squat deeper, and stay protected while running and jumping. Here's how to do them: 1. Start in a wide stance using support if needed. 2. Shift your weight to the right leg & sit back as far as you can. 3. Keep the left leg extended as you rotate your toes up. 4. Keep your right heel on the floor and torso upright. 5. Pause, then push back to the wide-legged starting position. 6. Do the same on the next side. Do this for 6-12 reps each side. Your hips and groin will thank you 🙏🏼

Great routine for people who sit at desks. 5 minutes to feel stronger & pain free. Cat Cows increases the flexibility of the neck, shoulders and spine while stretching the muscles of the hips, back, abdomen and chest. Bird Dogs promote proper posture, improves stability, relieves low back pain and encourages a neutral spine while strengthening your core, hips and back. The McGill Crunch activates your core while keeping your lower back in a natural arched position. This minimizes stress on the spine while increasing endurance in your ab muscles and can relieve low back pain. Side planks work the obliques, which are one of the most underrated muscles in your body. They also strengthening your glutes, hips, and shoulders. Glute bridge holds work your glutes, hamstrings and lower back without putting pressure on your spine. When doing the core exercises make sure to BRACE your stomach as if Mike Tyson were to punch you in the stomach. This activates your core. When doing the full body or glute exercises make sure to squeeze your glutes as if you're trying to crush a quarter in your butthole. Do 6 reps of each exercise with slow and controlled movements while mentally activating your muscles. Try it out between desk sessions & let me know how it went.

Great stretch for people who sit at desks all day or deal with low back pain. It's called the Tactical Frog. One of the most overlooked areas of the lower body is the inner thigh aka. the adductor. Inflexible or weak adductors can reduce hip mobility as well as cause knee and low back pain. Improving your adductors improves your hip mobility, which is crucial for anyone that sits at a desk for long periods of time. How to do this: 1. Start with hands and knees on the ground. Neutral spine with shins on the ground. 2. Spread your knees apart as far as possible 3. Push your butt back to your ankles. Start on your hands first and if you're flexible enough use your forearms for support. With any stretch, you always go where your range of motion allows you to go. Do this for a set of 30-60 seconds daily and breathe while performing it. Your hips will thank you.

This stretch should be mandatory for people who sit at desks. It's called a T-Spine Extension. As we get older or if we sit for long periods of time our thoracic spine becomes less mobile. This can cause neck, shoulder, and lower back pain as well as a hunched over croissant type of posture with the body. The T-spine extension helps you stretch your lats and upper back to reverse age or sitting related mobility issues. How to do it: 1. Make sure you're in full elbow flexion in the bottom position. 2. Make a double chin so that you don't drift into forward head posture. 3. As you rock back, brace your core and focus on extending through the upper back and flexing through the shoulders, rather than just arching the lower back. Do this for 6-12 reps daily. Your back will thank you.

I perform reverse hypers multiple times a week. On this machine, I like to get some momentum for the “traction” effect it has on my lower back. Do you do these? All gyms should have one but when they do, nobody ever uses it! Louie Simmons, the legendary strength coach and founder of Westside Barbell, created the Reverse Hyper machine to address back health and strength in his athletes. This innovative piece of equipment targets the posterior chain—lower back, glutes, and hamstrings—while also providing traction to the spine. Simmons designed it as a rehabilitation tool initially, aiming to alleviate lower back pain and strengthen the lumbar region in his own back. Why I use this machine: * Back Health: Performing reverse hyperextensions helps to strengthen the muscles of the lower back, reducing the risk of injury and promoting overall spinal health. * Glute Activation: The exercise specifically targets the glute muscles, aiding in their activation and development, which is crucial for improved performance in various activities like squatting, deadlifting, and sprinting. * Hamstring Strength: The movement also engages the hamstrings, contributing to their strength and stability, which is essential for athletic performance and injury prevention. * Improved Posture: Regularly incorporating reverse hyperextensions into your workout routine can help improve posture by strengthening the muscles that support the spine and pelvis. * Injury Prevention: Strengthening the posterior chain with the Reverse Hyper machine can help prevent common injuries, such as lower back strains and hamstring pulls, by creating a more resilient and balanced musculature. * Rehabilitation: When I tweaked my lower back, doing this multiple times a week aided my recovery greatly.
