Level 3 Upper Body Conditioning - Daily Neutral Spine Workout (with Lunges)
Healthy Hip Program
•
19m
Congratulations on progressing to level 3 of the Healthy Neck and Shoulder program. You are half-way down the Healthy Posture Road. Keep it up!
We have advanced each exercise in the program to challenge your ability to maintain neutral spine alignment against light-moderate lifting and carrying loads. This level of conditioning will prepare you to perform your home tasks from healthy posture.
Instructions: Perform this workout every other day. You can perform the level 3 Healthy Back, Hip and Knee workout on your off days. Take Sundays off!
The key to long-term injury management and prevention is to neurologically condition yourself to perform your daily activities from healthy posture. At this level of conditioning, you should be sitting a majority of your day without back support hip hinged forward onto your sit bones. You likely had to raise your monitor 3-6" now that you are sitting that much taller. For those with a standing desk, this workout will condition you to stand more symmetrically with a staggard stance.
Have A Symmetrical Day!
