As you may know, if you come to class, I have very tight hips. So when I drive to town - around about about a 90 minute drive. - I am so stiff that I struggle to walk.
Here is a clever hack.... It really worked for me. You can do it now, while you read this. While seated, hips and knees at an angle of 90 degrees press your feet into the floor. This may cause you to rise up a little. You are contracting hamstrings and glut muscles. They are at the back. In the car, they can't normally move because we are sitting on them. However when we clench these muscles we are contracting them.
I tried this on the way to Brisbane I did about ten repetitions through the drive and voila, the stiffness of my hips reduced by half and I could walk normally.
I'm so excited by the result, I recommend it in class - Habit of the Week.
