I only watched the TED video where Dr Eric Goodman explains how frequent hip hinging can alleviate chronic pain.

These 'foundation' exercises do look very interesting chicka especially as they are emphasizing the pelvic area and the lumbar curve. I have not had a chance to try them yet but at a glance appreciate that they are simple and stretching.

I haven't watched the TED vid yet, but the article and video clips seem good. The first exercise however, has weight on the heels, which doesn't line up exactly with WW posture recommendations. I doubt I would incorporate these moves into my routine, because I don't think I need anything like that. I'm up and down from my chair ALL day long, and everything I do is done in WW posture, giving my hips a constant beneficial workout. I like the point being made that good-quality sleep is a good thing to substitute for couch-potato time! I've been working on that one too. I will watch the TED video, as I've never watched a TED video I didn't like; let's just hope it isn't too oriented around male "core" concepts! - Surviving
