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.

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.
