    I used to work in construction, but I have a desk job now. I swear my back hurts more from sitting at a desk than it ever did doing physical work. Good tips, I’ll try to get this included into my daily routine.

    That "hug" shoulder stretch is incredible! I instantly feel better and much less stiff. Thanks so much! I really like your videos as they are very informative and let you know why you are doing the stretches/exercises and how to do them properly. Thanks so much. Have a wonderful weekend. 😊

    I love these stretches and will definitely incorporate them into my daily desk job. Before I try to make one myself, do you have a handout mini poster I could print out and stick above my monitor and I could use as a reminder of what i need to do and for how long?

  • @Raven11177

    Thanks so very much! I work long hour days sitting and just doing these moves while watching for the first time, I already feel less crickety stiff. 💜

  • @JorgeLausell
    @JorgeLausell Před rokem +2

    Nice! I've been working on these on my own, discovering them!
    My only add is that when bringing around the leg for that figure 4 crossing onto the lap, I raise my leg 1st placing that foot on the chair ahead of my bum, tight as I can. Then, keeping the leg hinged closed, I drop my knee to the outside. Once there I lift that foot up, with care to keep that legs hinged closed, up onto the other lap. I find this makes my knee feel much happier than when I simply pull up my foot and put it on that lap.
    Thank you so much for your work & generosity. May all good things happen to you!
    Oh, I have been using resistance bands & light weights too. Got some routines working out! Also just started using a staff. That is more space dependent, of course. So I'm redesigning my immediate work space so I can play with it.
    Again, Thanks.

  • @mmwoodcockart
    @mmwoodcockart Před rokem +1

    I think the universe is speaking to me. Last week I started a 10-week exercise program (at home program), but I knew I needed to work on my shoulder mobility and my hamstrings/glute region. In the past week, another workout channel released a Mobility-specific 20 min routine, and I subscribed to your channel after your Shoulder Mobility video showed up in my recommended weeks ago! Now you release this video :D
    I did a daily 20 minute stretch routine in 2020 working from home, but as soon as I was required to return to the office my flexibility/mobility has decreased the last 3 years (9 hour desk job, although I use my standing desk part of the day & use the wall to do some arm/back stretches).
    The decrease has really affected my strength based routines - I don't trust myself to do proper low squats or deadlifts or any exercise with arms behind me (shoulder rotation). It's hard enought to dedicate 30-60 mins a few times a week for exercise, and I don't carve enough time for stretching, so this is a great addition!!

    At 3:55 that is exactly one of the exercises I've been doing in rehab for a Total Hip Replacement. My therapist and I laugh because sitting up straight doing that is harder than you think if your muscles really need it. Thanks for these.

  • @philippeterson9512
    @philippeterson9512 Před rokem +1

  • @RagnarHoff
    @RagnarHoff Před 11 měsíci

    1.Also crucial to add massaging your upper chest right underneath your collar bone. It dictates the stiffness of your shoulders. If it's tight, your shoulders is gonna tilt forward. Use a small ball or some sort of stick and dig into it.
    2.Also pull exercises with a narrow grip and focus on keeping your back and neck straight. Lift light in order to feel that squeeze in your back and neck and not heavier that will focus more on your arms. It won't do you any good. If done right, you will feel that hunchback relief right away.
    3.Reverse butterfly with a rubber band while standing. Again, you target areas that will straighten you up if you focus on your posture during this exercise. It's also good for your shoulders. It opens them up.
    4. Do point 1 and 3 before any strength training. Trust me, my workout sessions got a massive boost after i started doing those in my warmup routine.
