Sitting Too Long Can Mess With Your Posture

When you sit for hours every day, your body starts getting comfortable in that position. You might notice your shoulders rounding forward, your hips getting tight, or your back feeling stiff when you finally stand up.

And honestly, it can change the way you carry yourself. You may look more slouched without even realizing it.

As a trainer, I like keeping this stuff simple. A few minutes of movement can go a long way. Glute bridges, cat-cow, cobra stretches, and downward dog are some easy movements I like using to help people loosen up and move better.

You don't need a crazy workout. Sometimes you just need to get out of the chair and move.
