Just like a river needs to flow to stay clear and vibrant, your body needs movement to stay flexible and strong.
And by movement, I don’t just mean a regular workout routine—I’m talking about the ways and how much you move throughout your daily life!
Why is this so important?
Movement nourishes and hydrates your muscles and fascia, keeping your body more flexible and strong.
That’s right.
It’s not just food and water that fuel your body. Movement also brings essential nutrients to your cells.
It’s easy to fall into a rut of excessive sitting or repeating the same exercises and stretches in the same way every time you practice them.
But just like stagnant water loses its sparkle, your body can become stiff and rigid without a fresh flow of movement.
Today, I’m excited to share a new seated variation of one of my favorite exercises: Windshield Wiper Knees.
It’s a simple, effective way to introduce fresh “movement nutrients” to your hips, thighs, and waist, and it helps maintain hip flexibility at any age.
After you give it a try, I’d love to hear how it feels. Be sure to share your experience in the comments below.
With movement variety,
Sydney
