I recently came across a YouTube video that shed light on the detrimental effects of sitting for long hours and provided exercises and stretches to combat them. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find that video now. I have a few tools at my disposal, including dumbbells, a pull-up bar, an elastic band, and a yoga mat. I was wondering if anyone could kindly share some exercises and stretches that I can incorporate into my daily routine to counteract the negative impacts of prolonged sitting? Since I don’t have access to fancy machines, I’m particularly interested in exercises that can be done with the equipment I have, or exercises and stretches that don’t require any equipment. Thank you in advance!
Just make sure you spend some time on your feet. Housework is good. Most smartwatches can let you know if you’ve not moved for a while.
I bought a Garmin fitness tracker and a Steam Deck last year. The watch is the purchase I get the most value from.
A really simple and effective solution is walking. It can not be overstated how helpful a couple short walks a day can help. You’ll get the added bonus of fresh air, vitamin D and an opportunity to reset your brain. Quick and easy.

YES. THIS. Holy shit I never realized how important hip mobility was until I started weightlifting again and could barely squat because my hips were so fucked from just sitting
Took me months to be able to do a good deep squat
