When sitting for long periods of time the front of your body becomes tight. Your hip flexors are shortened and your pelvis is tilted forward. The best remedy is to stand up every hour and to stretch your hips in the opposite position, hip extension. This is a classic yoga pose, and easy enough for everyone.
Bring one leg forward, careful to not let the knee reach over your toes.
With one leg straight and the other gently lower your torso into a stretch. Make sure your pelvis is tilted forward. You should feel the stretch in your upper leg.
Reach your arms above your head.
