Sitting is the way you want to atrophy your muscles, lose in the relationship to gravity and become less functional.
Way back when… in the 60’s… NASA did studies to see how astronauts would fare in outer space.
They did this by getting people to lie down so gravity could be removed and the effects studied.
Once again, another report is out claiming sitting is worse than you think.
The best chair we have is our legs… and if you use them consciously you’ll be able to live in the field of gravity with greater ease and effortlessness.
Don’t believe me… those NASA studies proved that all it took was up to 8 hours of being sedentary… or removing gravity from playing with your body… and the muscles would naturally begin to lose their function.
You remember how the early astronauts walked out of the spacecraft all rubbery legged on account of not having enough movement to counter the effects of weightlessness.
The same thing continues to apply when we just sit there mindlessly. Taking on all the stress at work by sitting there merely exacerbates the tension from working while atrophying the lower body in its limited ranges of motions – that we all become very good at.
All it takes is little self-adjustments, done with awareness so the proprioceptive police doesn’t sneak up on the inside and atrophy those aging, stiff muscles and tensed up muscles.
So get off your butt, get off your butt…every now and then and use the best chair you have… your legs.
