By Dr. Matthew Hwu, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS·
Quick answer
A full-body stretching flow designed to work against the stresses of sitting. Use it before gaming to get blood flowing, or after a long session when you feel stiff. The routine takes about eight minutes and is meant to be done twice in a row.
Each round includes ab bracing with reaches, lunges with a reach and twist, bent-over twists, groin and split squats, calf stretches with a reach, chest openers and a biceps stretch with breathing. The flow is shown in a short follow-along video.
Hey Gamers!
This is a short video where I demonstrate a mobility flow (series of exercises meant to be performed one after each other) designed to work against the stresses of sitting. It is a full-body stretching routine to get the blood flowing before a gaming session and can also be used afterwards when we are feeling stiff from sitting for the 3-4 hours. The total routine will take 8 minutes and is meant to be performed twice in a row!
