Let's be honest. You sit entirely too much. You sit at work all day, you sit at lunch, you sit on your drive home, you sit at the dinner table, you sit at the computer, you sit and watch TV, you sit and then you sit some more. It's no coincdence that your back and knees are killing you. The more you sit the shorter your hip flexor gets. And since your hip flexor attaches at one end to your lumbar spine and at the other and to your thigh and kneecap, you eventually get hip, back, and knee pain. The good news is that you can do something about it.
