5 Years Of Office Work Can Cause Permanent Damage To The Shape Of Ur Butt!

[LoShiNi]

Have you ever heard that spending a lot of time sitting at a desk flattens your butt? So it turns out this is actually true! New York physical therapist Dan Giordano states that five years in an office job can cause permanent damage to the derriere. And there is more: it does not get better even for those who engage in some kind of physical activity during the free hours. “No amount of weekend workouts will offset five days of inactivity,” he warned in an interview to Daily Mail.

The statement comes with a good physiological explanation. This “flattening” happens because of lack of blood flow and bad sitting posture. Not only this transforms the shape of your buttock, but also the strength of your glutes impacts your pelvic stability, pelvic rotation, and your core (muscles of the abdominal, lumbar and pelvic region, responsible for maintaining the stability of the region). This interferes with all activity and even physical strength.

Here are some tips for not getting a square butt!

You’re sitting wrong!
“90% of people sit in a way that means their pelvis rotates forward, putting pressure on your spine. And because you’re sitting for hours at a time, you’re not activating your glutes,” Dan comments. An alternative is to buy a Standing Desk, which is becoming more and more popular. In fact, some famous people like Ernest Hemingway, for example, wrote his main stories standing up.

Move yourself!
It is important to make the blood flow in this area. Try to get up every half hour — even better if you can do it every 15 minutes. Walk around a little, even if it’s only for 30 seconds. “You clear your head, become less foggy, get your blood flow moving.”

Use a foam roller

The physiotherapist believes that we should use a foam roller to relieve muscle tension every day. Very common in pilates and yoga classes, this roller is also starting to get into the offices to relieve chronic pain.


Vary your workouts
If you do not vary your physical activities, your body becomes used to that exercise. Take ballet, spinning and yoga classes — keep changing! This way, you end up working different muscles throughout the week
