Lose lower belly fat appearance by stretching!

Sitting is the new smoking!! It must be true because every magazine and newspaper has proclaimed it so.

As with all things, I’m sure there is a middle ground which is why I alternate using my standing desk and enjoying a chair…that being said an unfortunate side effect of our desk job/computer lifestyle is that when you are ready to run your tight muscles can quickly result in injury.

Now we’re sitting for work and sitting because of injury, how does one win?! We combat that sitting by correcting our posture and stretching out the hips.

An added benefit is that it might just reduce your lower belly by improving your posture! {Of course the other important component of that is clean eating!

10 Of The Best Strengthening Exercises For Knee Pain

Your knees are among the strongest joints in your body, they support your body weight while providing stability as you walk, run, bend, jump and lift. Your knees also allow you the mobility to sit and stand. Unfortunately, your knees are also the most commonly injured joints in your body.

The knee joint forms at the intersection of four bones, the femur (your thigh bone), the tibia and fibula (the two bones of your lower leg) and the patella, (your kneecap) which slides over the top of the joint as you bend your knee.

Your knees are supported and stabilized completely by the surrounding ligaments and muscles. The major ligaments are the cruciate ligaments which run across the anterior (front) and posterior (back) of the knee, and the collateral ligaments located on both sides of the knee. If you follow sports, you’ve surely heard of athletes with injuries to their ACL, the anterior cruciate ligament that connects the thigh bone to the lower leg and runs just beneath the patella.
