Not only are you hunched over on the computer or your shoulders, rounded all that, but you’re also sitting in a flex position with your hips
So I’m going to show you two hip sitting stretches that you can do to kind of open up those hips a little bit and hopefully relieve some of the tension. As you said, I’m going to go back there. So hopefully you can hear me, Okay, so two of the exercises that you can do cause it remembers if you’re sitting all day these hip flexors these muscles and tendons and the front ligaments get really tight. So you want to make sure that you stretch them out.

You’re going to put a little more pressure into that leg, That’s fine, But you should feel that stretch. Some of you might feel stretched just keeping it still. Okay, So that is a hip flexor stretch standing The other one is a quad extension, Not quad extension. Quad sitting stretches, So when you do your quad stretch, you want to hold your foot and then pull back on the leg. If you need some balance (, my ballet teacher would be very upset with me: ) …

So a lot of people do this You’re not stretching your hip flexor or your quad. Your quad is actually connected up into the top of your pelvis. So this is why this one will hit, So you want to think about pulling that leg back, pull the hip forward. The other thing I see people do a lot of times. Are they have their leg out? You want to keep your knees somewhat together. As close as you can and then pull that leg back Okay, So those are two stretches that you can do if you’ve been sitting at the desk too long, which I haven’t sat at my desk way too long this morning,
