This drill goes out to all of you that get knee pain and/or lower back pain after hours of sitting at work.
Why: The reason our knees begin to hurt is often because the way we shift our weight. My quads get tight because my weight shifts forward in my toes excessively. My back arches excessively to keep me from falling over and begins to ache.
This drill helps to turn on the hamstrings and abs to put our bodies in a better position and turn off the excessive muscle activity described above that drives pain.
How:
Press back in to wall and attempt to feel abs.Keep shoulders and head against wall as well.Reach forward with arms and dig back with heels. Try to feel hamstrings.
Where do I view this awesome exercise?
Till next week,
Coach Chris
