Ever Heard of Dormant Butt Syndrome?

Yes there is such a thing lol

If you’re not moving or changing up your routine often it could affect you. It could be the cause of your hip and knee pain. Who knew?

So it’s important for us to move our glutes consistently! Be sure to make it a point to get up out of your chair every 30-60 minutes even if you have to set an alarm reminder.

A simple thing to do that I read about is to contract your glute muscles while sitting, standing or lying down. You can also do side lunges, squats or follow some of these stretches.

I really need to focus on moving a lot more. I’m also going to make it a goal to get up and stand to work some. Although my leg still gets numb within about 10-15 minutes of standing, something is better than nothing.

Stand Up!

I love my standing desk workstation from Ikea but here is another very cool standing desk idea using a desk you already have.

This neat mobile laptop desk cart would be cool to move around the house. Reminds me of a hospital bed side table.

As did this standing desk anti-fatigue floor mat rocker. I could also use my massage track on this too. Who knew there were so many cool things like this for standing desks?

So needless to say it’s real important for us to get some sort of daily movement. Whether you just walk around the neighborhood or up and down the stairs and around the house, just do something.

Let’s make it a goal to move more and sit less. I’m going to start setting my timer to go off every hour during the day to start. What about you?

In August we are going to focus on sitting less and moving more. Plus we’ll discuss tracking our fitness in the monthly fitness challenge group among other fun topics so be sure to join in.
