I've got a desk job, I work from home, and I tend to watch a lot of TV at night. So I probably spend 10-16hrs on weekdays sitting. Its going to be the death of me, literally. Im super active otherwise with racing, cycling, and other outdoor stuff on the weekends. But thats still A HUGE % of my life where im stationary.
Its all leading to muscle and nerve pain at this point. Its all the standard stuff from sitting. My hamstrings tighten until they develop nerve pain. The muscles around my sacrum get tight. And my hip flexors are weak as shit. The cycling helps with most everything on my back side. But I think it makes my hip flexors worse.
I need some ideas for exercises to combat these problems, preferably something that involves weight. Im already working on deadlifts and squats, and those help some of those muscle groups. But I cant seem to find anything for my hip flexors. I think my main problem is the Psoas muscle. Any ideas?
