Un-chair your hips!

One of the consequences of sitting in a chair for long periods of time is shortened hip flexors.
This can cause not only stiff hips but lower back pain & long term it will negatively effect your posture.

Opening up your hips is just one component to reversing chair-itis and it is a good place to start! The longer you spend in a chair the more time you need to spend stretching your hips.

Here are some tips to reverse the effects of sitting all day on your hips:

• Spend at least 2 minutes per day in a passive hip stretch
• Opt for the floor instead of a chair as much as you can.
• Try out alternating with a standing desk for more posture variability
• Go for an extra big walk in nature on the weekends.
