How to Fix the Hidden Effects of Sitting All Day
Friday Mar 21, 2025
Friday Mar 21, 2025
In this episode, we discuss how prolonged sitting weakens muscles, stiffens joints, and reduces circulation, leading to tight hips, back pain, and lower energy levels. Poor posture can even affect breathing and focus, making it harder to stay productive.
To counteract this, we share simple movement strategies like standing up regularly, walking during calls, stretching at your desk, and using a standing desk. We also cover quick exercises to help improve posture and circulation.
Finally, we explore mindset shifts that make movement effortless, like treating it as non-negotiable, stacking it with daily habits, and recognising it as a productivity booster. Even a few minutes of movement every hour adds up.
Try adding one of these habits to your routine this week, and let us know how it goes. If you found this helpful, share it with a friend—because a body in motion stays in motion!
