Today, TEDxBroadway organizers announced a new series of online conversations with a central theme in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Broadway community -- 'What's the best WE can be right now?'
Mark Fisher Fitness's Steward of Strength Harold Gibbons is here to show you a simple stretch to open up your hips and lower back! It's the Deep Squat Lat Stretch, and the goal is to create some space and length in your posterior chain muscles - lats, lower back, and glutes. This release of tension makes it easier to later put it where you want it - in the strong and supportive muscles of your core! Spend a minute or two in this Deep Squat Lat Stretch position, holding on to whatever sturdy object will support you. (Kitchen sinks and door frames should be great for this.) That should allow for calmer breathing and more relaxed movement throughout your day.
Today (April 20) in live streaming: Mrs. Doubtfire visits Stars in the House, Celia Keenan-Bolger teaches a master class and so much more!
The warm-up should take 5 minutes to gently get you ready for more intense movement, with a focus on breath control and range of motion. It includes:

Mark Fisher Fitness's Steward of Strength Harold Gibbons is here to show you our simplest move yet - walking! (But socially distant walking, natch.) Most of us are moving way less in lockdown, and our bodies are feeling stiffer with all of the stillness. New Yorkers are used to walking a lot, and while we might not be at hour pre-COVID19 step count, remember that every step counts, even if that means walking 62 laps of your quarantine kitchen... or hallway... or a sanitary set of stairs! Try a little five-minute movement break every hour to get the blood flowing and keep yourself relaxed during the day.
Today (April 16) in live streaming: Ben Cameron counts down duets, National Theatre streams Treasure Island, Jessie Mueller visits Stars in the House and so much more!

Mark Fisher Fitness's Steward of Strength Harold Gibbons is here to show you a simple stretch to help free up your hips during busy days of sitting and sheltering. The Bird Dog helps train your abs to resist movement of the spine while your arms and legs get to party. This keeps your spine stable and your hips and shoulders mobile - that's everyone's dream! Aim for 8-10 reps per side during your daily stretches or workout.

Mark Fisher Fitness's Steward of Strength Harold Gibbons is here to show you a simple stretch to help free up your hips during busy days of sitting and sheltering. The intention here is to let the adductor muscles of your inner thigh stretch out a bit, like just those groin stretches you did in high school. Start on all fours, extend one leg to the side, and rock forward and backward across that planted foot. 8-10 on each side should help stretch out those leggies!

Mark Fisher Fitness's Steward of Strength Harold Gibbons is here to show you a simple stretch to help free up your hips during busy days of sitting and sheltering. The intention here is to keep things fluid by giving your leg bones a chance to rotate within your pelvis as freely as possible, literally lubricating the ball-and-socket joints of your hips. Start in that simple 90/90 position, and pivot around your heels and across your sit bones to switch sides. 60 seconds of this should feel like a great way to move through positions that traditional stretches won't have opened us up to.
