Reset yourself with this sequence from Kelly Starrett of
Mobility W.O.D
• Stand up with your feet pointing straight forward or slightly
inward.
• Realign the pelvis by simply squeezing your butt tightly. This
will be even more effective for the majority of people if they
internally rotate their feet 10-15 degrees (big toes slightly
towards each other), roll feet to the outside of the arch and
then try to pull the back of the legs together without the
heels moving. This will allow the thigh and butt muscles to
work together. The squeeze alone is otherwise less effective.
• Create some tension in your core by slightly tightening your
abdominals (this is not an extreme tightening – just to 20
percent of your max).
• Correct your shoulder position by externally rotating (think of
unscrewing) your shoulders and arms (rolling your shoulders
back), which brings your shoulder blades closer together,
your chest up and forward, and your thumbs pointing away
from your body
• While keeping your shoulders externally rotated, turn your
hands back to neutral, so that your thumbs are now facing
forward.
