Turns out you really do need to keep moving all day, here's why. underarmour ad
, an ACE-certified personal trainer who also holds a BS in Kinesiology, explains that when you're in a seated position, your muscles will begin to tighten as a result of restricted movement. For example, when you are sitting in a chair, your hip flexors are held in a shortened position, while the muscles on the opposite side of your hips are held in a lengthened position, she explains.
So, not only could my discomfort and tightness be a momentary annoyance, but if I go for longer periods of time sitting down on a regular basis, I could develop longer term pain. Rees says stretching throughout the day helps the muscles go through their regular movements of both shortened and lengthened positions, thus reducing those aches and pains.
But beyond stretching, there's a little more you can do to increase your movement, says Rees."Mobility exercises help with moving your joints through a full-range of motion — whether that be a great range of motion or not," she says. That"motion" doesn't even have to be a workout. It can be as simple as doing exactly what my watch says and standing up and moving.
Because I'm working from home and don't have those normal in-office cues like a colleague to remind me to move around, it's especially important now more than ever to give my muscles regular stretching and movement. Not only will it help ease immediate muscle tension, but it could also help keep more serious pain away.Image Source:
