Stretching Routines to Undo All That Sitting
Combat the Consequences of Sitting with Stretching
Let’s face it, we all sit a lot more than we’d like to admit – at work, at home, and even when we’re on the go. Our bodies weren’t designed to sit for hours on end, and yet it’s so easy to find ourselves doing just that. The result? Tight hips, a stiff back, and an overall feeling of discomfort. But don’t worry! At Unbeaten Fitness, we’ve got your back (and your hips, too).
Stretch Those Troubles Away
We’ve put together a stretching routine that’s just right for you! It’s simple, doable, and incredibly effective in undoing the damage caused by too much sitting. Here’s how it goes:
Torso Twists
Torso twists are the perfect way to loosen up your upper body. Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart, and with a gentle motion, rotate your upper body from one side to the other.
Hip Flexor Stretches
To help combat tight hips, give this stretch a try. Kneel on your right knee, with your left foot flat on the floor in front of you. Gently press your right hip forward until you feel a stretch, then switch sides.
Glute Bridges
Glute bridges work wonders for your backside. Lie flat on your back with your feet flat on the ground. Lift your hips off the ground until your knees, hips, and shoulders form a straight line, then lower back down.
Negate the Chair
Remember, the goal isn’t just to combat the inertia of sitting—it’s to negate it altogether. This means incorporating more movement into your day, even if it’s as simple as getting up and taking a short walk every hour. Trust us, your body will thank you!
