Your sedentary lifestyle is killing you!

I’ve heard this said.

And while it isn’t really “killing” us, it is a cause for a ton of aches and pains AND puts us at an increased risk for injury when we workout.

How?

That forward flexion and constantly hunched posture creates imbalances. Imbalances that create immobility and compensations, which in turn lead to overuse and injury.

Ever see someone’s knees go in as they squat? Or maybe you’ve noticed you walk on the inside of your shoes? Or heck, maybe you’ve noticed your shoulders are rounded forward and low back is arched!

All of these postural distortions can lead to mobility restrictions and us overusing smaller muscles that aren’t meant to carry the load. It’s why so many people at some point will have shoulder, neck, upper or lower back pain. Heck even hip pain is unfortunately becoming more and more common!

That is why the RStoration Method is so key BEFORE you workout and to reverse the constant forward-flexed, hunched-over posture we spend most of the day in.

There are 3 parts to this process – foam rolling, stretching and activation.

And you can spend just 10 minutes a day and see HUGE benefit!

Try this RStoration Core-Focused workout below and start alleviating your back pain as you reverse the hunch and get your core working properly!

    Hey Cori
    I love this workout. I have been having a lot of shoulder and neck pain, since an injury and surgery, and the activating with rollers and balls before exercising is really helping.
    Plus your mini workouts are great for getting me moving when I feel like I can’t face a long workout, I get 10 minutes done, start to feel better and keep going ?
    Thanks so much.

    So happy to hear Mishy they are helping! And I LOVE your attitude. I think so often we don’t do anything because we don’t have “time” when even just 5-10 minutes can have a huge benefit. Here to help whenever you need!

    I LOVE this routine. I’m doing it every morning and it’s hugely helping my low back pain! I do this even if I don’t do other exercises because it’s so ‘doable’!

    So glad it’s helped Rebecca!

    Does your 28 day full body restoration program move this fast? I need a little direction too – not just music playing. I am interested in your methods, but want to know what I’m getting before I purchase. Thanks! I enjoy your Facebook tips.

    While I do chat through moves and show modifications in the full workout programs, they are based on a timer so would move with the timer, be it 20 seconds or 30 seconds or whatever the workout calls for. 🙂
