This is such a powerful visual representation of the effects computers , driving and indeed looking at our phones out of work all have this effect on our body over time .
It’s what I see so much of coming into my clinics .
A 2012 study from the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity found that, on average, people spend 64 hours a week sitting, 28 hours standing, and 11 hours lounging around regardless of whether or not they exercised 150 minutes a week.
That’s over nine hours of sitting a day.
Prolonged sitting invariably leads to slouching, and comes with a host of other problems that are typical of poor posture. Illustrates below 👇🏾
As a rule of thumb, for every hour of sitting try standing for 10-15 mins. Walk and get a glass of water 💦 pop in a couple of stretches in there and you’ve nailed it !
If you’re a desk all day at work, consider a standing desk instead. Getting on your feet works the valves in your leg veins, sending blood up to your heart.
Get moving ……
You will be much more efficient, your body will thank you …..
