Great stuff by Kelly Starrett here. I want you to start monitoring your weight pre and post workout for one week and record your water consumption throught the next week.

Hard to hear, but a great video from Kelly Starret’s Mobility WOD project

Mission: To sit with your “abs” on at least 20% of their best contraction. Every time you are sitting unprotected and braced you owe a 5 hollow rock penalty. Post number of fouls to comments.

Is Sitting too much Killing YOU?

I think this graphic is probably a little exagerated, nontheless prolonged time spent on your ass is not a good thing.  Find a reason to get up at work, do 10 squats/lunges every 15 minutes throughout your day….that is 320 squats over an 8 hr workday! Stand and work if you are able, or work from the paleo chair.  Take breaks to stand up, move around the office and stretch; let other people think you are weird because you are!  

You are different, you are refusing to settle for a poor diet, poor health, poor fitness, and a poor body position (sitting).  I sure don’t want to be normal in the American categories of weight, fitness, or health, so yeah call me weird I will get up and do some dynamic stretching in my office……of course we are pretty liberal with that sort of thing here at BOLT Headquarters.

Please make this commitment….
Dear Ass,
I probably spend to much time on you. I commit to making the effort to stand up, move around and spend less time sitting in a chair, on my couch, or in my bed. I am sorry to always suffocate you in some apparatus, no wonder these actions result in dormant glutes.
Respectfully,
