"Sneak it in" moments
(Open opportunities for light stretching and mobility drills):
1. During tv:
- when watching tv or scrolling, I spend that time sitting in a deep squat for 2-3 minutes or switching between 90/90 positions for my hips.
2. While working/studying:
- Every 60-90 minutes, I stand up and do 30 seconds of hip flexor stretches or spinal twists.
3. Before bed:
- I spend 5 minutes in child’s pose, forward fold, or seated twists before bed.
