Theres no escaping the fact that we all sit too much on a daily basis. Everyday we sit to go to work, eat, watch TV, surf the web and so on and so on. The question isnt how did we get to this point but what can we do to reverse the negative effects sitting has on our bodies?
Sitting for just 20 minutes is enough to cause postural distortions to the body. Every time we sit the hip flexors are in a short position and the hamstrings are in a long position. Also, our core and gluteus muscles are not engaged basically turning them off making them weak. The lower back muscles become tight as a result. This type of dysfunction is commonly known as Lower Cross Syndrome. For many this is the cause of their lower back pain and even neck pain in the trapezius muscles.
The good news is that we can work to prevent this from happening or correct it. A fat loss overview can help you establish a clear describe of what you need to focus on to complete your fat loss target if you're a rookie; or serve as a reminder for the ones who are at an intermediate or more improve phase of their weight-loss plan. Following are seven steps that can serve as guidelines for your personal weight loss plan. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same thing. Many weight loss plans have fooled people into thinking that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by causing a person's body to eliminate more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. First, if you have to sit for an extended period of time you should try to stand up every 30 minutes to stretch and get the blood flowing. Next, while sitting be conscious of your posture and activate your core muscles. We should sit tall; avoid slouching or lying back in your chair with your feet up!
For those of us who exercise on a frequent basis, try to stand as much as possible during your workout. It doesnt make any sense to sit all day at work and then go to the gym to sit on a machine to exercise.
Some corrective exercises we can do are planks to strengthen the core and bridges to strengthen the gluteus muscles. Planks can be done on each side and prone or face down. These should be done for 20-30 seconds and 2 to 3 sets. The bridges can be done for 10-15 repetitions and 2 to 3 sets.
Everyday we should find the time to stretch. Twenty to thirty minutes each time is best to keep the body loose. Stretching before and after working out is a good rule of thumb. This will help to keep the muscles loose after a workout and keep them healthy.
