"Couch" pretty much = bad posture = bad joints.

"Couch" pretty much = bad posture = bad joints.
- jeltz 4y agoThat is way too strong assertion. Not all couch potatoes have that bad posture, especially those who used to exercise in the past and stopped and bad posture does not necessarily mean bad joints. Very few of my friends who are around 40 have bad joints, including the couch potatoes. The bad joints will probably catch up with them in time but e.g. my dad was a couch potato from 45 to 67 without any issue. It was only during covid where he want from barely moving to sitting in front of his computer all the time his joints start to hurt. And, yes, his posture has always been terrible.
- wintermutestwin 4y agoI said "pretty much" to soften the absolutism of my statement. I should have said "bad posture + running = bad joints." You do make a good point about prior athleticism as it can promote good joint health.
