Ball Exercise 17: "Clear Your Hip Cache"

This is seventeen of a set of 24 exercises that get you back into your body, stretching key tech-influenced body parts, and add a little play and peace to your day.

Day 17: “Clear Your Hip Cache”

• Sit “side saddle,” with your right hip on a ball

• Straighten your left leg behind you and get into a lunge position

• Increase the depth of your lunge while keeping your torso upright (don’t overly arch the lower back) and hold for a few breaths

• Repeat other side

Make it harder

• Reach both arms up, or add a twist to the right (i.e. in the direction of the front leg)

Don’t have a ball?

• Try this no-load chair lunge for a similar effect

Keep Moving

• Day 16 EXERCISE is a dose of full-body relaxation
