Lower body mobility routine

POV: After 8 hours at your desk, your body is begging for movement but you’re not sure where to start...

Here’s a simple lower body routine you can do right at your desk or anywhere in the office. No special equipment needed.

Start with 1 set of each exercise, 5 reps per side.

Why these moves work:

Heel Sweeps: Targets your tight calves and hamstrings - the muscles that get stiff from sitting all day at your desk.

Quad Stretch: Your quads get shortened during long periods of sitting. This stretch helps restore their normal length and improves your posture.

Knee Hugs: Releases tension in your lower back after sitting through meetings and working at your computer.

Glute Stretch: Sitting all day makes your glutes tight and inactive. This stretch helps reduce the stiffness in your hips and lower back, making it easier to move comfortably again.

Hip and back stretches.
Here a visual I found when trying to stretch. I’ve been a lot less active the last few years. So when I got back into working out I could see the lack of mobility I had and it sucks. Better mobility makes working out so much easier. I’ve been doing these stretches before working on my side gl
