CAUTION!!! WORK CAN RUIN YOUR BODY

If most of your working day involves sitting at a desk, your body might gradually develop the following:

-

Chronic Neck Pain

Bad posture & weakened muscles will strain your neck & back.

Slouched Shoulders

Sitting slumped over your computer will train connective tissue to adapt this ‘slouch position’ as your new natural posture.

Lower Back Pain

Weakened muscles will also put stress on your lumbar spine region.

Walking with a forward lean

Your front thigh muscles remain contracted while seated. They will shorten over time to create an overall imbalance & forward lean.

Protuding Gut:

Gluteous muscles weakened from inactivity will cause your pelvis to tilt forward and will push your belly out even if you aren’t fat!

Blood Clots:

Sitting results in poor blood circulatio­n and blood clots in your lower legs.
