Workers who have to sit for work every day have complained about body aches due to sitting for long periods of time. Therefore, more and more people are bringing some exercise tools to work, hoping to offset some of the effects of sitting for long periods of time. Regardless of class, many people are gradually replacing traditional office chairs with movable seats, hoping to train their abdomen and buttocks and relieve the pain caused by sitting for a long time.
Why do traditional office chairs cause soreness?
Even though ergonomic chairs are highly ergonomic, the main reason why our office chairs are so uncomfortable turns out to be our bad sitting posture. When we sit and work, our abdominal cavity relaxes after our body settles down, and our core muscles are also in a state of rest. Bad sitting posture means that the body does not sit in its natural order. When you sit in the wrong posture for a long time, your muscles and bones will be stressed.
Several studies were combined on replacing traditional work chairs with movable chairs. In one phase, participants used yoga balls as chairs to work for one hour. The results include:
Overall muscle usage increases
The muscles near the spine are active
Increased overall metabolic response
Increased oxygen uptake - 10 to 16 percent increase
Increased use of thigh muscles
However, not all opinions are positive. Using movable seats may also encounter the following effects:
Uncomfortable feeling without backrest or armrests
Movable seats increase the amount of exercise and cause fatigue
The best option?
Various studies have shown that you can sit on an ergonomic chair and a movable seat interchangeably throughout the day to enjoy the benefits of an movable seat while providing adequate support to the body. Take it a step further and add some standing work time to yourself with an electric height-adjustable desk. At first, you need to exchange several methods before your body is sore and gives a warning. Slowly, you will be able to avoid the effects of sitting for a long time, and at the same time, you will unknowingly stop the development of belly fat and train to have lines!
