    That spinal extension is perfect for those with lower back problems …not just old folks, but young bucks who suddenly forget they’re not 18 anymore and pull a muscle/tendon in their lower back. I felt something go ‘twang’ like a snapping elastic band in my lower back when I leant over to get something out of a drawer and sneezed at the same time….😂😂😂 still can’t get over the hilarious situation but damn I was in pain. Literally couldn’t do anything, even something as small as turning my head to look sideways was painful. Only relief I got was laying flat on the ground. Doctor examined me and gave me some exercises to do, one of which was the spinal extension. I now try and do this and other stretches often….thing is, I used to do it before and after training when younger (15- 25) but as one gets older the laziness kicks in. After a stressful day at work (whether at a desk, behind the wheel, in customer services, hospital, education) all one wants to do is go home and relax. Problem is that’s the worst thing to do as we don’t stretch out…so for any young folks reading this/watching this video - do the stretches regularly as you get older. Don’t stop…trust me when you get to your late 40s, you’re body will thank you for it. 🙏

    Hidden tip Ryan gave us at 3:30: Sleeping is always important to repair damaged tissues and heal ourselves, so it's a good idea to get profit of that moment by taking a small nap.
    Ryan, in case we can't do the stretching, would be standing up and walking another choice? How many times should we stand and walk on that case?

    If you cant do it all at one time then you spread it out and do a set or two or three every half hour or so. Also, instead of sitting in a chair to watch TV you should get on the floor and do these stretches. This is what i do when I watch football. I warm up, do calisthenics/bodyweight exercises and stretch during the commercial breaks(most are 2 minutes).

      Buy a pull up bar, it is THE best return on investment you can imagine. Costs $20 max, the effort to reward ratio is great and the time cost is next to nothing ...
      Just doing dead hangs can make a huge dif to people, and no one can hang for that long ... so am sure you can spare 30 seconds a day?
      Then if pull ups are too hard, do negative ones ... jump up and descend as slowly as possible and after a week or so you should be able to do them. Am 48 and got back to 10 pretty quickly, then once you're there can use harder form or weighted .... even when you're doing set of 10, it still only takes a minute, literally.
      and all still on that $20 bit of kit!

      I can give you great tips if you want since I have been battling postural issues all my life and had went from manual labor jobs to now desk jobs and I know first hand how hard both of those can be on the body. People who think doing manual labor vs desk jobs is so much better obviously never did manual labor because it heavily depends on what type of labor it is and almost everyone I worked with had back or knee issues. So dont think your desk job is the issue you can fix all your problems with few lifestyle adjustments.

      I used to get headaches weekly. Please try shoulder shrugs hold the upward motion high and for a second or two then bring them slowly down. Repeat as needed. If you have sore rhomboids they can cause headaches too, to fix that do a chin tuck and at same time bring your head down and tuck it into your chest. Hold your head down and tucked for 30 seconds, if you are doing it right you will feel stretch in back of neck and down upper back through the rhomboids, do that 1 or 2 times a day. If you do these, you should start to see your headaches go away over time. For me I would get a pain in my upper neck and that would be a sign of a headache coming now I can do the shoulder shrugs and prevent the headache from coming on. I hope you feel better.

    With most of my life having sit-down jobs, video games and a lot of media consumption otherwise I've been struggling with moderate to severe sciatica for a few months, started up a mobility routine and got a new (though still at a desk) job and have noticed so much improvements so quickly!
    I have taken movements from you and a few others and the changes it has already made is spectacular!
    Thank you for talking about how often and how many sets, when I started I'm not sure if I push my range of motion too much, but the following day I would really ache and it was something no one has talked about, being weak in so many areas really worked spots I haven't really used in far too long.
    Even my disc golf game has already really improved, getting me similar to where I was 8 years ago! I understand why people say fitness is a journey, it really is steps at a time and regular effort, but it is so worth it.
