Statul pe podea îți îmbunătățește mobilitatea, flexibilitatea și postura. Tu știai asta? 👨🏼‍⚕️☝🏻

Sitting on the ground is one of the most normal things to do and to improve mobility. Can you explain us why is that good for us and why the chair is not so good for us?

You're sitting on the ground with your legs crossed. You're putting a lot of external rotation into the femur. And it's that rotational component that allows your pelvis to become stable on your leg. So if you don't have access to that rotation, that makes it very difficult for your body to create a good stable spine. Unstable pelvis on stable femur. And so if the first thing we want to do to change a range of motion is we need to spend time in these ranges of motion in these critical positions. Instead of adding in another complex behavior onto a complex system, let's have a really simple behavior onto a complex system so we can see inputs and outputs. We had some very high level cyclists begin to sit on the ground, and they found that their wattage improved as their positions improved. That transferred into efficiency and economic pedaling, which allowed them to adopt more arrow positions and generate more wattage on the bike. And all they had to do was sit on the ground. But sitting on the ground changed their native range of motion. By improving their native range of motion, they were able to improve their wattage. And that's really one of the things that happens when we begin to take the body and expose it to the things it needs.
