Heavy on this one, you carry yourself all day you GOT to treat your legs and back well!!!
. figure four (hips)
. child’s pose (lower back)
. Downward dog (hams and calves)
. Butterfly (inner thigh)
. Towel hamstring stretch (hams)
. Cat/Cow (lower/mid back)
And honestly just taking a foam roller and rolling out your leg muscles is GOD TIER.
that’ll change my advice. are your hips even when you sit? when you walk? do you sit at work all day? do you lift heavy shit a lot?
general things to try: legs up the wall for 20 mins a day; pigeon or figure 4 to release the hips; gentle supine twists + thread the needle holds
nothing makes me feel older than tight hip flexors, creaky knees, and an achy lower back. I usually do a flow of "threading the kneedle," cat cows, downward dogs, hip switches, and end with child's pose
This years pride will be a bit more difficult compared to the last couple years but HAPPY PRIDE! Celebrate with the people you love and the people that care for you. this year especially we need to stick together as a community with the rise of homophobia and especially the rise of transphobia. a special reminder that our community is built off the work of the black trans community and the black trans women that have fought for all of our rights. respect one another as that is all we can do right now. happy pride and be safe! <3
