I don’t have much to offer during these times except for my knowledge in health, fitness, and nutrition. So to try and be of some value and contribute to the community, I’ll post what I can and hopefully it will help someone. Stay safe everyone and God Bless. . Many people are not used to working from home. The worse thing you can do is sit for many hours at a time; believe me hours go by before you realize you haven’t taken a break. Many of you will begin to experience tightness, aches, and pains. Today I’ll show 4 movements that take a couple of minutes to release some tension, tightness, and relieve some lower back pain. There are other moves, but these are my favorite for my lower back. 1. Fire hydrants 10-15 circles to the front 10-15 circles to the back 10-15 straight out to the side Switch Legs . 2. Low Lunge Pose with a back and forth rocking. . You’ll feel a little stretch on your hamstrings and your inner thighs. Rock back and forth for about 10-15 seconds or longer if you feel like it. It’s a simple movement for anyone whose not too flexible. Feels good. . 3. High Lunge - Hip Flexor Stretch . The trick to this stretch is to tighten the glutes (squeeze your butt) and reach for the sky. For extra stretch, you can turn your upper body towards the front leg and you can lean forward. Just keep squeezing the glutes and reaching. . 4. Lower back stretch . Bend your knees so that you can grab the inside of your feet. Hold on tight. Push your feet as you hold on and intentionally focus on stretching your lower back. Try to relax your head, you’ll feel some tension on your upper back, but as your lower back stretches, you’ll notice some of the tension on your upper back will loosen up and you’ll be able to relax your head and neck a bit more. . Let me know if you tried this and how you felt. If you’d like me to cover something specific in fitness, health, nutrition, or some related topic, please let me know and I’ll work on it as soon as possible. . Please share this. I don’t mind. Stay safe, stay healthy, and I’ll see you in the next video. . #coachnilo #lowerbackstretch #fitness #socialdistancing #flattenthecurve #stayhome #triathlontraining #homeschooling |
