Bad posture, and perhaps even more importantly, sitting is a really, really bad thing. There is a reason why taxi drivers have massively shorter life spans than the general population - sitting all day and the following poor circulation is one of the worst things you can do to your body.
By the way, do you have any youtube videos perhaps saved that you followed?

- TaupeRanger 2mo agoThe taxi driver claim is not really supported by any evidence. There was an article going around in 2024 claiming something like "taxi drivers die at 68", but the study it referenced had all kinds of methodological problems and was not actually designed to estimate occupational life expectancy. "Sitting" is just a stand in for "having a sedentary lifestyle". Anyone who doesn't exercise will have these issues.
