3 Best Stretches to Battle Stiffness from Sitting Too Much

Sick of feeling stiff every time you stand up from your chair?

If so, you need to be proactive in “undoing” the tightening that comes from too much sitting. And let’s face it, we all sit too much. We sit for work, we sit for TV, we sit to eat.

And while sitting less would also be a great option, an easier place to start is just to add in a few simple stretches throughout your day.

How to Stretch to Feel Better

It’s amazing how little you have to do to feel better. It honestly just takes a few stretches per day and you will:

  • Feel less stiff and achy
  • Have more energy (being tight is taxing!)
  • Move more easily.
  • Sleep better
  • Have less back pain

So, if you would like to start feeling better, here are the top three stretches we recommend to counteract too much sitting.

Now, you probably already know you need to stretch more, but there are a few things that make it difficult to stick with it:

1. It’s hard to know if you are doing them correctly

2. There is no one to hold you accountable

3. How do you know if these are the RIGHT stretches for you?

It’s hard to start any exercise program when you are not 100% confident in what you are supposed to do and how you are going to stick with it.

And that is where we can help.
