Mark's Daily Apple Thursday, May 26, 2022 11:00 AM Hi, folks! Enjoy this guest post from my pal Ryan of GMB fitness in which he covers a topic near and dear to my heart: mobility exercises and undoing some of the negative effects of a too-sedentary lifestyle. Take it away, Ryan. The unfortunate truth of modern life is many of us sit for too long during the day. This is mostly due to office culture that requires us to stay at a desk to get our work finished—even if we work from home. And while you might be combatting this with regular breaks, walks across the office, or even fancy ergonomic chairs and standing desks, it might not be enough to maintain a healthy range of motion throughout your joints. You need mobility exercises designed to combat all that sitting. If you're making time to move and exercise regularly, you know how important your hip, shoulder, and ankle mobility is for deep squats, pullups, lunges, and other full-body movements. Over time, if you're not actively working on improving and maintaining mobility, it's easy to lose. Fortunately, we can keep a healthy, functional range of motion starting with these five mobility exercises you can do anywhere. 1. Backward Facing Wrist Flexor Stretch This stretch will help open up your forearms and wrists after long days of typing. Kneel on a comfortable surface. Put your hands on the ground in front of you, rotating your wrists around so that your fingers point toward your knees. At first, start with your fingers closer to your knees (this is easier if you're especially stiff). Now with your palms flat on the floor, ease your butt back toward your heels, then pulse toward your hands. That's one rep. Do 10 total reps and hold for 10 seconds on the last one. See the full movement on YouTube 2. Quadruped Shoulder Protraction and Retraction This one is good for getting some movement in your shoulders and upper back. Begin with your hands directly under your shoulders and your knees right under your hips. Start by letting your chest sink downward, pulling your shoulder blades together. Then reverse the movement by pressing downward and pulling your shoulder blades apart. Don't move your hips; this is all about the upper back and shoulders. Take it slow and repeat for 10 total reps. See the full movement on YouTube 3. Quadruped Spinal Circles This exercise helps open up your back and releases the spine from being in a rigid position all day. Start on your hands, placing them directly under your shoulders like the previous exercise. Push with your lat (the large muscle of your mid and lower back) to one side while dropping your chest. Pull your back upward and sway to the other side. Aim to make a circle with your spine while keeping your arms straight and firm on the floor. Take your time and do 5 reps in one direction, then repeat 5 reps for the other side. See the full movement on YouTube … Continue reading "Do You Sit All Day?
