Unlock Your Hip Flexors Pdf Download Mike Westerdal | Page 28

If you are not flexible enough to keep your feet relatively parallel start
with your legs wider apart, feet turned out at 45 degrees. The more you
practice squatting the more willing your body will be to go all the way to
the ground.
Practice sitting down on the ground and getting up without using your
hands. This is especially helpful for lubricating the hip joints and it
raises the fear that people develop as they age that they will fall and not
be able to get back up. It has the added bonus of loosening the lateral
rotators of the hip, the muscles that are implicated in sciatica.
So start by finding a way to bring you to a seated position on the floor,
hands free. Then get up also without using your hands. Repeat this
exercises several times, finding as many different ways to sit down and
stand up as you can.
