If your lower back feels tight and gut pops out every time you stand up, it’s not age, it’s adaptation… 👇🏽 Hours of sitting shorten your hip flexors, switch off your glutes and core, give you a nice balloon gut, and tip your pelvis forward, creating that big arch and constant tension through your back. Fix it 👇 1️⃣ Couch Stretch Lunges open your hips. 2️⃣ Glute Bridge Pelvic Tilts teach pelvic control. 3️⃣ Romanian Deadlifts strengthen glutes and hamstrings. 4️⃣ Laying Cable Knee Raises build core and hip flexor strength without arching your back. Tight front. Weak back. Rebuild the balance and your back will thank you. This was Part 3 of Desk Damage. Stay tuned for Part 4

Your hip flex has become tight in the front, your glutes switch off and your core forgets how to stabilise your pelvis because it's fallen asleep. And the result is that forward tilt where your hips roll forward, your ABS hang, and your lower back works overtime. Going to show you 4 exercises to fix this. Now. Now couch stretch lunges, one minute per side, knee out from the wall. Couch stretch lunges, one minute per side. Knee art from the wall. If you're tight or closer in for that full range stretch, you'll feel a deep stretch through the front of the hip and that's your hip flexes. Finally letting go. Next, glute bridge, pulp of tilts.

This will help you relearn pulp control and proper alignment. This will help you relearn pelvic control and proper alignment. Let's move on to Romanian deadlifts, double or single leg if you're a little more advanced. They strengthen your hamstrings and glutes, the muscles that keep your pelvis stable and pull you out of that anterior pelvic tilt. Finally, let's do laying cable knee razors, building hip flexor and core strength. This helps teach you to lift your legs without arching your back. Perfect for reinforcing A neutral pelvis. If you ignore it, the imbalances will just grow tight front we back and a spine that never catches a break. This was Part 3 of disc damage. Stay tuned for Part 4.
