Today I'll show you the best hip flexor stretch to help you straighten up - for good. Watch today's episode to: Understand why sitting too much is a common cause for tight hip flexors, and how tight hip flexors cause anterior pelvic tilt, kyphosis, and/or lordosis. Learn how lengthening your hip flexors will help your pelvis get back into its neutral position and your lordosis and kyphosis to improve. Get the 3 variations of the best hip flexor stretch to lengthen those muscles and straighten up - permanently. WHY STIFF HIP FLEXORS CAUSE ANTERIOR PELVIC TILT, THAT IN TURN CAUSES LORDOSIS AND KYPHOSIS Our body is like a kinetic chain. If one thing goes out of balance, other things tend to go out of balance too. Before I explain how this works, let me first describe how muscles work. Muscles can only do two things: lengthen or shorten. Take your biceps for example, the muscles in the front of your upper arm. When they shorten (or contract), you lift your lower arm up! That's when those guns show up. When they lengthen, your lower arm goes down. At the same time, the muscles opposite your biceps, i.e., your triceps (or the muscles at the back of your upper arm), are responsible for the opposite movement. So when you want to extend your arm, your triceps shorten, pulling that lower arm back. Or, when you want to lift that lower arm up, your triceps relax (or lengthen), while your biceps contract. So when you're holding a baby in your arms, your biceps are shortened so that you get to keep holding that baby, while your triceps are lengthened. Now imagine what would happen if you held a baby for 8 or 10 hours a day, for years. Your muscles would adapt. Your biceps would become shorter, while your triceps would lengthen - permanently. NOW ADAPTATION MAY SOUND INNOCENT, BUT LET'S EXAMINE WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR MUSCLES WHEN YOU'RE SITTING FOR 8 HOURS A DAY, FOR YEARS.
