You sit too much.
I know the pain.
For 9 years I worked a desk job.
Never had back pain before. Suddenly I did.
Not only that.
Neck pain.
Shoulder pain.
Tight hips.
I gained weight around my stomach.
Years ago I quit smoking. It was a bitch, no doubt.
But sitting was a tough habit to break also.
Especially when your job is to sit!
I had a friend who never went to the gym but kept in “decent shape” but worked a desk job.
One day he blew out his back as he bent over to tie his shoes.
Dude had not one, but 2 back surgeries.
Crazy thing is he hurt it without even lifting anything heavy.
Just by sitting at a desk day after day.. year after year..
My friend got his body in such pain simply by sitting and not being active.
He came to me after his second surgery (still in pain) and said his physical therapist told him to do some resistance training.
I had told him to do that from the beginning!! haha
Sometimes we aren’t ready for change until pain gives us no choice.
Anyway, he started working out with just bodyweight exercises and over the past year or so he is in much less pain.
He now uses some free weights and bodyweight training but he also walks daily.
Daily exercise is the key to limit his back pain.
I told him to make sure he gets up from his chair every half hour and walk around. Do stretches, do something.
You need to get those hip flexors out of that seated position where they can wreak havoc on your back.
He’s doing better.
Not a disney movie happy ending quite yet but he’s working on it.
Need a plan that will get you out of your chair every day?
