Why Sitting is Hard

Outline

  • Primal forms
  • Functional movements
  • Stabilizer muscles
  • Why sitting kills you
  • Why it's actually difficult to be asked to sit at a desk (the myth of a "desk job")
  • Why everyone should do strength training, or at least mobility work
  • The importance of posture
    • Strength (you need the strength to actually hold the right posture)
    • Mobility (you need the flexibility to actually enter the right posture)
    • Habit (you need to form the habit, so that you don't have to actively hold)
  • How ergonomics relate to posture (you don't want to be reaching, stretching or turning!)
  • How font and UI size relate to posture (you don't want to have to lean in!)
