Preview โ€” The Goal

๐Ÿช‘ The Goal: The tight hips, the cranky lower back, the shoulders creeping toward your ears, the neck that cracks when you finally look up from the screen โ€” that's not aging; that's your body adapting to the shape you hold it in for eight hours a day. Muscles that stay short get tight (hip flexors, chest); muscles that stay stretched get weak and whiny (glutes, upper back). The good news is the fix isn't a gym membership or a $1,200 ergonomic throne โ€” it's interrupting the shape often, plus 15 minutes of targeted counter-moves. Your body doesn't hate sitting; it hates ONLY sitting.
