If you sit all day, do these 3 exercises daily: 1. Asian Squat x 60 seconds Chairs lock your hips and ankles at 90 degrees for eight hours, so your body stops giving you anything deeper. Drop your hips until your hamstrings touch your calves, heels down, chest tall. Elevate your heels or hold a doorframe if you tip back. 2. World's Greatest Stretch x 5 reps per side Hits your hip flexors, hamstrings, T-spine, and glutes in one sequence. Step into a deep lunge, both hands inside your front foot, drop the inside elbow, then rotate that arm to the ceiling and follow it with your eyes. 3. Bar Hangs x 60-120 seconds Sitting compresses your spine and rounds your shoulders forward. Hanging is the only thing that reverses the load. Grab the bar, go completely dead, let your shoulders ride up by your ears. Do not brace. 5 minutes total. Do it for a month and your future self will thank you.

This exercise should be mandatory for people who sit at desks. It's called the Band dislocate. These help mobilize your rotator cuffs while opening up your chest allowing you to improve your posture. Do this 6-12 reps few times a week. Your shoulders & posture will thank you.

Great stretch for people who sit at desks. It's called the Double band lat stretch. Loop 2 resistance bands (or towels) over a pull-up bar or fixed anchor above shoulder height. Grab both ends, hinge forward, and let your arms extend straight out in front of you. From here, slowly rotate side to side, feeling the stretch deepen through your lats and hips with each turn. Do this for 30 seconds to 60 seconds total. Your lats get chronically tight from sitting, and tight lats pull your shoulders forward, creating that rounded hunchback posture. This stretch opens them up and releases your hips at the same time. Do it daily and your body will thank you.

This stretch should be mandatory for people who sit at desks: It's called the Couch Stretch and it will change your life. Here's how you do it: 1. Get on all fours and put one foot up on a couch or chair and another 90 degrees in front to support. 2. Bring one arm up and lean back until you feel tension. 3. Hold this stretch and breathe deeply. The further back you lean the harder the stretch gets. The more you go forward the easier it becomes. Go at your own level. When you sit for long periods your legs are stuck at bent angles for up to 8 hours a day. This causes your hip flexors to shorten by limiting their range of motion. This can create pain in the low back and hips while causing you to become weaker. The couch stretch counteracts this by mobilizing your hip flexors back to their natural range of motion. Do this every day for 30-60 seconds and watch your body feel better.

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 🧠

Great stretch for people who sit at desks all day or deal low back pain. It's called the Tactical Frog. It helps improve hip mobility & posture. Do this while taking a break from sitting at the desk. Do this for a set of 30-60 seconds daily.
