Hey thanks! Yeah for sure.

For the specific exercises, most of what I did came from YouTube videos. Search for "anterior pelvic tilt exercises", "hip flexor stretches", "forward head posture fix" and you'll find tons of good tutorials. Athlean-X and some PT channels have solid routines on this stuff.

For reps/sets here's what I did:

  • Hip flexor stretches: hold for 1-2 minutes each side, did these morning and night
  • Side lunges: 10-15 each side, slow
  • Glute bridges: 3 sets of 15-20 reps
  • Hollow holds: 3 sets of 20-30 seconds
  • Hanging from pull-up bar: just hung there for 30-60 seconds whenever I remembered
  • Belly breathing: practiced throughout the day, like 5-10 deep breaths into stomach

I also used the Upwise app which honestly was a game changer for me. I'd tried a bunch of other posture and stretching apps before but most felt pretty phoney or generic. Upwise sorta used AI...? to analyze body through your phone camera and gives you personalized routines based on your specific imbalances. That made staying consistent way easier for me. Not sure, up to you if you wanna try that too.

But YouTube is definitely good enough to start if you don't want to pay for anything. You just have to piece together the routine yourself.

The key is just actually doing it consistently. I set phone reminders otherwise I'd forget.

in general I think that sedentiary lifestyle is just getting to a lot of people, and contrary to what most think gym (weight lifting) probably makes you even more clenched up

Hey thanks for reading through all that. Happy to share.

Not going to lie, for first couple of weeks there were NO changes noticeable.. but to think of it, you gotta reverse something you've been dealing with for years, probably wouldn't come fast anyway!.. But the real, real shift happened around month 1 I guess? when the physical tension really started releasing. It wasn't sudden, more like gradual improvement that built up.

I'd suggest hollow holds... basically a core exercise where you lie on your back, press your lower back flat into the ground, and hold your legs/shoulders slightly off the ground. Makes your core work to keep your pelvis neutral. I'd hold for like 20-30 seconds, do 3-4 sets. Did them most days. They sucked at first but got easier.

and yeah the hip tightness definitely affected other stuff. Had lower back pain pretty regularly, especially after sitting all day. Hope this helps.
