It’s important to Stretch, especially your Hip Flexors and Quads.
These days our lifestyles seem to dictate that we sit for extended periods of time. We get up, drive to work, sit at our desk, drive home, possibly go to the gym where most people sit down on a cardio machine or weights machine and then we go home and sit in front of the tv before we go back to bed.
This is a continual cycle of around 12-16 hours sitting down. This leads to a shortening and tightening of the quads and hip Flexors, switching off your glutes, leading to an anterior pelvic tilt and increased lumbar lordosis, putting those added pressures on the lower back and pelvis. No wonder 80% of the population will experience back pain at some point.
Here’s the solution: We want to stretch and relax the hip flexors and quads frequently throughout the day in order to help restore the correct alignment of the lower back and pelvis and take the pressure off your joints, muscles and ligaments.
