but it's also one of the biggest dangers to your health.
IT'S SITTING!
Even if you're the most active of athletes, you may
still suffer from tight hip flexors due to the amount of
time you spend each day planted to a chair.
If you have tight hip flexors from sitting too much
you may be kicking your body into fat storing mode
and it has nothing to do with inactivity.
Sitting Is a Fat Loss Inhibitor
As the body's "fight or flight" muscle, your psoas (hip flexors)
is deeply connected to our natural survival instinct. It instantly
tightens in moments of danger to either protect you (in a fetal
position) or help you run, fueled by the release of adrenaline.
However, if your psoas (hip flexors) is constantly tight from
sitting too much, it signals to the body you are in constant
danger, leading to overworking of the adrenal gland.
When this happens, your immune system suffers and your
body automatically switches into fat storing mode in
anticipation of danger.
Can't shift that weight? Blame those tight hip flexors known
as your "survival muscle".

If you have a desk job, drive to work or like to relax on the couch,
