Writing this workout in summer of 2020 and many more people are now working from home, more than likely with a less than ideal set up for their workstation. Sitting for long periods of time can almost be unavoidable if you have a desk job.
Taking regular breaks away from your desk and getting in lots of steps all help, especially for the daily activity preoperative. however, sitting for long periods needs to be balanced out. Some muscle will become tight and others lose. A combination of good stretching and actively working the antagonist’s muscles will help combat the imbalance that sitting for long periods can cause.
And that’s why I’ve made this anti-sitting workout, it something that helps me balance out these muscles and hopefully it can help you too.
