While working or eating or even watching tv, sit on the floor and alternate through the following positions:
Cross legged
Sitting with legs straight out
Sitting on knees
Sitting with knees bent to side (hip opener)
This is actually even better than standing because 1) it opens your hips to counteract the damage of chair sitting and 2) the frequent posture changes as well as getting back up are all great for mobility
It feels like cheating but it counts as movement!
Interesting, thanks for posting! Do you lean back on anything while sitting on the floor?
No but I do sometimes sit on a small pillow or block to take pressure off the lower back. Depending on the day and position.
Start with a few mins a day and work up if some of the positions aren’t comfortable. I could not sit on my knees initially, my quads and hips were so tight.
