The Easiest Way to Counter Sitting

Lay down more

Even though I teach people how to use yoga to improve their fitness for a living, much of what I do isn’t active. In fact, I bet that I spend just as much time as you do at a computer. There are certain things that I do to help counter the negative effects of sitting, and this is one of my favorites - and it involves zero effort.

Instead of sitting in a chair, lay down on your stomach. Put your laptop in front of you, focus on keeping yourself upright, and work in a prone position for as long as you comfortably can. Put a KnotOut or a lacrosse ball on your hip flexor while you’re in the prone position to help open your hip flexors (the muscles that get tight when you sit) to help improve hip mobility and reduce tightness or stiffness in your spine.
