So they say that sitting too much shortens your life and all that. They also say that most of us sit incorrectly. I know I do. I constantly slide my butt forward and slouch. And I was thinking, what I need is a seat belt to keep me from sliding forward. But such a thing doesn’t seem to exist. There must be some problem with them that I am missing. Since Lemmy has lots of desk jockeys, I figured I would ask here.

    sitting too much shortens your life

    No.

    Only the pain-free part of your life.

    what I need is a seat belt to keep me from sliding forward.

    You need the opposite. More motion instead of more stillness.

    Move your spine, move your butt, move all your weight. Never sit totally still.

    In addition, do some stretching excercises for your spine regularly, every morning or every evening.

        But definitely learn how to do them correctly before just going HAM with them, otherwise you’ll probably just throw out your back.
