Can't sit on the floor cross legged!

Kamran Khan

Hi everyone, 

I am quite new to this and really glad that I have found mobility wod.  I am trying to undo years of sitting in a chair.  When I am with the kids, we often do things sitting on the floor (stories etc).   I can't sit cross legged!  My knees are high and I have to cradle my legs rather than simply being able to sit on the floor in a relaxed way.  Where is this problem emanating from?  I am terribly stiff and inflexible as it is.

Appreciate any help!

Good to hear you found the mwod.
Would be a good idea to start from episode 1 and move through each episode especially where you are "terribly stiff and inflexible." As you start working through things you'll see other aspects improve from working within the system.

A couple on sitting. There are more episodes on sitting.
