30 Seconds to Better Mobility

The human being is designed to move, yet some 86% of Full Time American workers spend most of their days sitting. Add sitting and sleeping and you have a day spent mostly inactive.

Here are the movement problems that are caused or made worse by extensive sitting:

Decreased hip mobility (especially extension)
Decreased thoracic mobility (specifically excessive kyphosis, or forward curvature)
Decreased shoulder mobility (rounded forward and drawn inward)
Lack of shoulder stability due to lack of scapular movement
Poor core coordination and strength
Gluteal amnesia (the glutes stop working)
Head-forward posture (really bad for your neck)

It’s pretty horrifying when you realize that excessive sitting alone can make you a poorly functioning human being. The video below is a 30 second routine that can greatly improve your quality of movement and living.
