If you're anything like us, you did a fair bit of sitting (and eating) yesterday while watching the Super Bowl. Luckily, a sports medicine doctor is sharing his favorite exercise to combat all that time on the couch — and it couldn't come at a better time. 🛋️

Today's workout is a core routine. How are your planks coming along? The best way to master them is to do them consistently to build your strength over time. Here's how to do it:
Come onto your hands and knees, opening the hands as wide as the shoulders and the knees as wide as the hips. Pull the abs in and step the feet back to come up into a plank position. Make sure the shoulders stay over the wrists and be mindful not to round or arch the back. Engage the core to keep your back flat. Hold for 10 seconds, rest, and repeat for a total of 3 times. |

Sports medicine doctor shares the 1 exercise he recommends doing if you sit all day |
The glutes are the largest and strongest muscles in the body, says Dr. Jordan Metzl. When we sit for too long all day, the glute muscles can become inactive and weaken, resulting in "dead butt syndrome."
In order to counteract this, Metzl recommends doing 10 squats per hour during sitting breaks. "It's easy, and you can do this anytime, anywhere," Metzl adds. Other exercises that can help engage the glutes include glute bridges, lunges and fire hydrants. Get more tips to counteract the effects of sitting too much. |
