For the average person, the real exercise time is about 1-3 hours a day, even if it is an athlete, the exercise time is about 6-7 hours, and most of the time we are in the daily actions of walking, sitting and lying.

Some exercises such as stretching and running can help us relax our muscles, and then do some muscle-based no-machine body training, which can help us balance muscle development, improve leg shape, and improve posture.

But there is another important point, that is, to gradually develop good living habits, sitting and standing, let's talk about how to sit and sit.

Poor sitting posture is common

Fall over like ninepins

[Comments]: Scoliosis can easily cause the pelvis to tilt, which naturally affects the muscles and posture of the lower body.

Half lying and half sitting

Bending over, bearing weight on the tail vertebrae, tilting the pelvis backwards, and the buttocks are getting more and more collapsed, increasing the risk of knee hyperextension.

Ge You lay down

[Comments]: Bending over, excessive force on the spine and cervical spine, and uneven force on the pelvis, increasing the risk of knee hyperextension.

Hunchback + Erlang legs

[Comments]: The tail vertebrae bear a lot of weight, easy to low back pain, pelvic easy to tilt, and piriformis muscle tension.

Maintaining these poor sitting postures for a long time will affect the health of the spine and pelvis, and it is also easy to cause problems with hunchback and leg posture! Look at the picture above, and quickly self-check and self-correct~

Practice sitting posture correctly

Generally speaking, we should first relax the muscles through body correction training, then strengthen the weak muscles, build the force pattern, and finally slowly learn the correct daily movements such as walking, sitting, and running.

In the matter of posture correction, speed is not enough, and many people want to do it in one step, but the bad posture formed for decades will definitely not be completely knocked out at once.

But let's talk about how to sit better, and let's do it in the order I said:

1. Find the right chair for you

The chair should be made of hard material, and the top of the feet can be stepped on the ground, not suspended in the air, and the thighs should be parallel to the ground when sitting.

2. Find your own pelvic-spine-head balance

This is more abstract, you need to "roll" the pelvis and buttocks, move the pelvis backwards, slowly perceive, you will find that it is suitable in a fixed place, you can look at eye level, this balance point is here.

Of course, you can also assume that you have a tail, and we want to leave that tail behind us instead of pressing it under the butt.

3. Perceive the center of gravity

Sense the change of center of gravity, but also find a normal breathing rhythm, try to ensure a comfortable state.

4. Adjust the head and shoulders

Don't lean your head forward, don't move your shoulders forward, and try to be as straight as possible.

Some people say: There are many cushions, backrests and other products on the market to assist sitting posture, is it useful?

In fact, it's like a good back, it's good when you use it, and it's back to the same way when you take it down, and the assistance of any external force is not as good as your own power with the right method.
