Jason Kent Physical Therapy for professional help. 2. Limiting your sitting. Get up every 30 minutes to walk around at work and home. 3. Getting out and moving. Exercise regularly, even if it’s just taking a short walk every day. 4. Maintaining a nutritious diet and controlling portion. Make sure your food intake is nutritious and portioned. By chewing your food thoroughly, you won’t feel as if you have to eat as much.

BIRD DOG Start on all fours (i.e tabletop position) with wrists under shoulders and knees under hips. Be sure to engage your pelvic floor muscles, then raise your left arm
in front of you and right leg behind, engaging your glutes to form a straight line from left hand to right foot. Hold for a second, then return to start. Repeat with opposite arm and leg. Sets/reps for results: The great thing about bird dog is that there are sooomany ways to incorporate it into your workout. But I recommend using it as a warm-up or wake up. Try completing 30 seconds of work, rest, then repeat for 10 reps. Doing this move three or four times a week will get you results and you’ll really start to reap its benefits.
