HOW DO YOU SIT?⁠ .⁠ We get bombarded with how

YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO GET UP!⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
💁‍♀️ You can easily stop yourself being chair shaped, you just need to move regularly! ⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
🥰 Our biggest tip is to just shift around in your chair but if you want more, try these really simple exercises, some of which you can even do without stopping work!⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
💪 BOOK OPENINGS: start palm to palm and slide one hand up the inner seam of your arm and across the chest to rotate. You can extend the arm out if you want. The most important thing is keep your head with your breastbone and move your ribs!⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
💪 GLUTE STRETCH: support the leg you are crossing over at the ankle and under the knee. Instead of pushing the knee down, try and rock onto the front of your sit bones and hinge forwards at the hips!⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
💪 HAMSTRING STRETCH: for a hamstring stretch you shouldn't need to flex your foot as this is more for neural 'stretches'! Instead, leave your foot flat, sit on the edge of your chair and send your sit bones up to the ceiling to hinge forwards into the stretch!⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
💪 MERMAID: reach one arm up and one arm down to help you bend over to one side. Trust us , the side bend will happen naturally! Breathe into the stretch to let your ribs expand and this will give you a little more accessory movement!⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
🤔Do you move in your chair?⁠⁠

STRENGTH AND THE PELVIC FLOOR!⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
☺️ After giving birth it is really important to work on the strength in the back of your body to be able to stay upright!⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
🤗 It is also really important to not just do pelvic floor exercises lying down but to quickly come into sitting and standing! ⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
☺️ All these exercises can be done quickly after birth and are great for improving the strength in your antigravity muscles whilst you work on your 'core'!⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
💪 SEATED ARMS: try to keep your ribs stacked on top of your pelvis with heavy sit bones. Don't worry about 'sitting up straight' as often this means you are in extension! ⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
💪 KNEELING ARMS: pressing into your shins and feet whilst hinging back a little as you press. This is your progression and you will feel more work around your trunk. Try not to squeeze your bottom to push your hips forwards but press into the shins.⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
💪 STANDING ARMS: in this position can you keep that rib cage floating above your pelvis as you press? Again the tendency would be to pull and extend!⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
✨ In all of these, remember to keep your shoulder blades moving around your rib cage rather than trying to keep them still!⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
🤔 Can you breath and connect your abdominals and pelvic floor, then let them go fully as well?⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
