If you’re like most people, hours at a desk or behind the wheel can leave your hips tight, your back cranky, and your body feeling older than it should.
The good news? Just a few minutes of focused movement can reverse a lot of that stiffness — no equipment required.
Here are three simple mobility moves we teach in class that you can do anywhere:
1️⃣ Alternating Spiderman Stretch
This one targets your hips, groin, and mid-back — the areas that get the tightest from sitting.
- Start in a push-up position.
- Step your right foot up next to the outside of your right hand.
- Drop your hips slightly, open your chest, and rotate your right arm up toward the ceiling.
- Return to the push-up position and switch sides.
Do: 5–6 reps per side, moving slowly and breathing deeply.
💡 Tip: Think “smooth and controlled,” not forced or rushed.
A powerful combo for opening up your shoulders, hamstrings, and spine.
- From a push-up position, lift your hips high, pressing your heels toward the floor, and press your head through your shoulders toward your feet (Downward Dog).
- Slowly lower your hips to the ground, raise your chest and gaze forward and upward, squeezing your glutes (Cobra)
- Flow back and forth between the two for 6–8 reps.
Bonus: You’ll get a surprising core stretch and a gentle upper-body warm-up.
The ultimate “human movement reset.” This position opens the hips, ankles, and lower back.
- Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart.
- Sink into your lowest comfortable squat, keeping your heels down.
- Press your elbows into the inside of your knees and lift your chest tall.
Hold: 30–60 seconds, focusing on breathing and posture.
If balance is tough, hold onto a sturdy object for support.
