Been sitting all day? This one’s for you. 👀

Hours at a desk keep your hips and knees bent, leaving your hamstrings locked up. Improving mobility isn’t about doing more—it’s about undoing what you’ve been doing all day.

Next time you stand up, try this hamstring stretch. Watch the video for the exact cues:

• Push your hips straight back (hinge, don’t just lean forward).
• Pull your toes up toward you to instantly deepen the stretch. (Side note: because of that toe pull, it is totally normal if you feel this stretching your calves too!)
• Tuck your chin slightly—your neck is part of your spine, keep it aligned!

💡 The Corrective Secret:
Keep your hip straight to stretch the whole hamstring. Rotate your hip slightly outward to hit the inside (medial) muscle, or rotate it inward to hit the outside (lateral) muscle.

Hold 30–60 seconds per side.

Your body adapts to what you do most. If you sit often... make time to move often.
move well, move often. -Lalo 🤠
