Seriously cant believe there is a ted talk on this.........😅

[@mooingkat9514]

Actually I'm so grateful for this talk. I'm in my mid 30 and starting to have knee pain and feel the imbalance of my glutes, don't know what caused it and don't know what to do with it. Now I'm awake and thank God for that because I can't imagine how my knees would be weakened in my later years.

One of the best things I did was get a nice sit to stand desk at my work. I was sitting WAAAAY too much prior to having that installed.

[@Ready2_Go]

I work 5 days a week., bending, stooping, lifting, pushing. Every muscle in my body gets a work out.

That’s awesome Charlie! Your body will reward you! 🙂 Thanks for watching!

[@DrKingaMnich]

Very interesting. I go on walks and squeeze my glutes. Love the humor.

I just started a career as a remote worker and I'm already getting concerns about my joints and posture

[@Weightlossforwomenover40]

Taking care of joints and posture are really important as we age. Being strong and flexible are also a part of balancing the body. Making sure you’re ergonomic in lifting things and even in sitting will also help you. Thank you for watching Lekannn! 🙂

Sit less if you sit a lot
