Description
Who is this for?
Whether you are sitting all day for work or you are just a bit more on the stiff side (don’t worry, we all have a little stiff old dude in us 😉), this program will help you loosen up common areas that get tight with prolonged sitting. Please note, this is not a physical therapy program or designed to address any injury or area of pain! If you have pain, please seek medical advice from a licensed professional for an individualized assessment!
What do I get?
A written program and access to videos demonstrating each exercise and common errors with cues on how to correct those common errors. Each day comes with its own playlist of individual exercise videos so you can watch the playlist of each exercise in order or you can easily choose to only watch the video you need! The program does NOT include follow along videos as the individual exercise videos provide more detail on each exercise so you can also learn as you work through the program. The written program is consistent week to week so you can learn the exercises, improve form, range of motion, and flexibility as you progress through the program. The consistency of the exercises helps you make more progress vs. constantly switching up the exercises (plus, it makes it easier to remember)! You will perform these exercises independently based on your schedule. You have access to me via email to ask questions. Please note, no medical advice will be provided and if you need significant modification/individual training advice, I do offer individualized programs!
How long will this take me?
You can choose between a 5 day program with 10-15 minutes each day or a 3 day program with 20-30 minutes each day. The 5 day program also has a bonus 6th day if you’d like to do an extra day! The program is designed to do for 4 weeks, but you can do for as long as you would like! Note that it may take you a little longer the first week as you are learning the exercises, but it will become faster as you continue.
What equipment do I need?
- Foam roll or towel roll
- Towel or pillow case
- Wall
- Chair or box
- Optional: small looped band
When should I do this?
You can do this whenever you want throughout the day! You can do this before your workday, during your lunch, or after work. You can also use this as a warm up or cool down before or after your workout or even just after you wake up (coffee is recommended, but not required 😉) or before bed to wind down for the day!
What areas does this focus on?
The program works on areas that are commonly tight after sitting for prolonged periods. These include the neck, upper back, shoulders, wrists, low back, and hips.
Do I need any experience working out to do this?
No! This is a basic program designed to help you move and feel better!
What is the best sitting position?
Check out this video here about the importance of posture, its effect on musculoskeletal pain, the best sitting posture, etc.
What is mobility?
Typically, people split flexibility into passive motion (aka something helping you move) and mobility into active motion (your body moving itself into that position). I like to think of flexibility as passive motion of the muscle (muscle length) and mobility as a combination of several things including flexibility. Mobility includes flexibility or passive muscle length, joint mobility or how your joints can move throughout their range, end range control or strength, and neurodynamics or how your nerves are also moving. This program will include both passive and active motions and self joint mobilizations. I did not include nerve glides in this program as they require a little bit of individualized assessment prior to performing them!
What kind of support do I get?
Feel free to reach out via email if you have any questions throughout the program. You also get access to the Facebook community page to work through the program with others, share wins, ask questions, etc! If you’d like, you can even post videos in the Facebook group of exercises that are in your program to get feedback on form!
What if I don’t like the program?
As you receive the program once you purchase it, no refunds will be given. If you have any questions about if the program is right for you, please email paradigmofperfection@gmail.com with any questions you have!

I really enjoyed the Anti-Sitting Mobility Program. I did both the 3 day and the 5 day program. I liked the 3 day program (Monday, Wednesday, Friday). This way I had days off in between. As a retired 67 year old, I wanted the program to help with my flexibility and build my stamina. Which it does. Can’t wait for skiing this winter.

So happy you enjoyed the program and are able to do what you enjoy this winter!

Buying the Anti-Sitting Mobility Program has been so worth it! I’ve had it for several months and use it all time after a long day of sitting at work. Each day I use it I feel better.

Love that you feel better after doing the program!

I absolutely love the Anti-Sitting Mobility Program. Laura goes through each exercise/movement explaining how to get the most benefit. The program includes options for both a 3 day workout each week or a 5 day workout. Laura’s energy is infectious and so uplifting to watch.

Thank you so much Carol! So happy you enjoyed the program!

I love this program although I am not good sticking to a program. The moves it includes really make difference and can feel that my body is more relaxed and flexible, it kind of releases cramps of a long day.
paradigmofperfection (verified owner) –
Consistency is tough for sure! Even incorporating an exercise or two throughout your workday can may a difference and make it more manageable too. But happy to hear you notice a difference in how your body feels after a long workday with the program! Keep it up!

I’ve been following Laura on Instagram for quite a while, and when this programme became available, I knew I needed it. I’m 29 years old and have struggled with back pain for about 14 years. While under the care of an osteopath, I started this mobility programme, and wow does it help! I feel stronger and more limber. My pain has subsided significantly. I’m not great at staying consistent, but when the pain gets bad I know the solution – I do my exercises for a few days and the pain starts to melt away. (I’m working on being more consistent in the long term). I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to feel good in their body, reduce stiffness, and have a better quality of life.

This is amazing..so happy you were able to learn to take control, reduce your pain, and move better with the program! Keep up the hard work!

Love the Program, really easy to follow. I’ve had 3 time back surgery and this is helping a lot against stiffness.
Thanks a lot Laura.

Love that the program makes it easier for you to stay loose!

Program was great. I followed it early on and while doing it felt great. Somehow just dropped under the radar and stopped doing it but program/videos was great. Little harder to navigate watch it on the phones etc but all in all content is great. Deploying it to users can be better.
Thank you!
paradigmofperfection (verified owner) –
Thank you so much for the feedback, I’ll definitely keep that in mind going forward! Glad you were still able to enjoy the program though!
Pavel Tcholakov –
The program is great! I’ve only tried the 5+1 bonus day variant and I appreciate that each day’s exercises can be completed in a reasonably short amount of time. The accompanying instruction videos are very clear and detailed yet concise. They are much more helpful than other online training programs I’ve done.
paradigmofperfection (verified owner) –
Thank you so much Pavel! Happy that you were able to include it into your daily routine!
Kel –
I love this program! I like to mix in parts of it throughout my workday since I work from home and a full session at the end of the day. It doesn’t take long and has really helped to counteract my desk job.
paradigmofperfection (verified owner) –
Thank you Kel! Glad you enjoyed the program and found it accessible to do in your schedule to help keep you loose from sitting!

Ahh this is amazing Dawn! So happy the program helped!
Cornelius (verified owner) –
This is a very practical program that just works. I’ve started to include the exercises in my daily routine, and my back is happier. If you’re sitting for extended periods of time, definitely give this a try!
paradigmofperfection (verified owner) –
Thank you for your review Cornelius! I’m so happy you enjoy the program and feeling better because of it! Keep up the hard work!

It’s been two weeks since I’ve started with this program and it is amazing. I feel so much more active and less stiff after performing them for 20 min. I love how each day hits pretty much all stiff parts of the body.
paradigmofperfection (verified owner) –
So happy you’re enjoying the program Vishnu!

This is a great offer and very well spent money for you health. Movement make me for one feel better everyday. Wether you have a sitting or light movement job. Even if you have a strenous job its a good loosen up and feel better walk through. Great tutorials and instructions too.

Thank you for your review Thomas! So happy you found the program to be a great value!

This program has been great! I have been having to set a lot in my job lately, and it has been hard on my body. This program is definitely made a difference. When it comes to stretching and mobility, we often think “I know how to stretch I just need to do it, I don’t need to pay for a program.” First, having a program laid out, definitely has made it more likely that I actually stretch and do meaningful stretches for a meaningful amount of time. This program has also given me more ideas of other stretches that I can do and how I can mix it up for my usual stretches. I don’t always do the entire set of exercises for the day, But it has also been a great resource for picking and choosing additional stretches to throw into my routine, or a couple things here and there where I can close my office door and do throughout the workday.
paradigmofperfection (verified owner) –
Thank you Caitlin! I’m so happy having a plan has helped you be more consistent and gave you additional ideas to throw into the mix! Keep it up! 🙌

This is a great program that is very effective when used consistently. It’s beginner friendly as it is easy to follow along. I like that there are so many different routines to do so I don’t get bored. I like to do it in the mornings before work or as a warm-up before swimming or mountain biking.
paradigmofperfection (verified owner) –
So happy you’re finding the program helpful and have found many ways to include it into your routine! Keep up the hard work!
