Citation? Because there are a lot of studies on the positive impact of exercise. And there are plenty of very healthy people that spend most of the day sitting but implement spaced exercise plans.
- ruleordie 9y agoI am not a science article, I am telling you my beliefs, which I am 100% certain are true. Maybe in 600 years, science will be able to tell you the same thing? > Because there are a lot of studies on the positive impact of exercise. None of those studies say "this 100% reverses the effects of sitting". > And there are plenty of very healthy people that spend most of the day sitting but implement spaced exercise plans. I know experts in health and fitness who spend a lot of the time at the gym who will even admit to you that they can't get their body right. You can watch them implementing standing desks and various things and constantly trying to implement new things. None of them are working because they are constantly still trying to implement new ways to correct their sitting around all day. It will never work because there is no technology solution to anything and there never has been. There is no technological solution to climate change. You can't have 7 billion people on the earth. There is nothing you can do.
- ruleordie 9y agoI can find quotes from experts in human movement that will say it is impossible to get the muscles back to how they would be if you weren't sitting all day. Your muscles are fixed in a position. I know pretty much everything there is to know about the muscles involved. The hip flexors are constantly shortened from sitting all day. Some of them attach to your leg, others to your spine. You cannot spend an hour in the gym or stretching and fix 8 hours of sitting. It is simply impossible. I have tried everything you can do. You can strengthen the hip extensors such as the glutes and hamstrings, but it still doesn't work. You can stretch the hip flexors and it still won't work. It just improves things a bit. You will find people all over the internet say "how do I fix my anterior pelvic tilt", and they will continue asking the same questions forever because there are no 100% solutions.
