Whats Up Gymmers !
Yesterday I spoke about the concept of 'movement snacks'.
As we head into the weekend I want to give you another movement minute you can snack on this weekend.
Today’s MOVEMENT MINUTE focuses on STRETCHING YOUR QUADS.
Tightness in the quads is SUPER SUPER common for MS GYMMERS because MS often forces you to SIT MORE throughout your day.
When you sit for extended periods of time, the UPPER PART of your quads near your pelvis gets OVER-TIGHT and your Gluteal muscles get super stretched and weak.
This will GREATLY impact your ability to stand, balance, and walk well.
Therefore, it is very very important that your stretch your quads throughout your day so you can maintain good pelvis and hips muscle balance.
As you do this stretch, FOCUS ON:
- Sitting as tall as possible
- Gently pulling abs in
- Tip your pelvis back as your stretch
- Breathe slow and think about that muscle relaxing
Happy Stretching!
