Abs at the office
A Pilates Instructor presents some exercises that will help you acquire enviable abs. But what is most important, iron abdominal and pelvic muscles can also help solve a problem that we acknowledge too late and that affects our health a lot.
Adopting a posture to coddle our backbone depends not only on the advice we receive from the first years of life, "do not sit hunched over, sit up straight," especially since we are addopting a wrong position when sitting on the bench even since middleschool, 'cemented' on through consecutive years of sitting in the office.
The first thing that will simplify the correction of your posture after years in which you have come to believe that it is easier to sit hunched than straight is thing totally untrue, as the instructor told us, toning the abdominal muscles, more exactly the whole muscle 'belt' in this area, could help us as not to feel as a great effort to stay in a correct posture.
Although we may feel that it is more comfortable to sit hunched over the desk, in reality this position exerts great pressure on the spine. So when you sit in the chair, doctors say it is good to have a relaxed position with your feet on the floor and leaning back slightly, glued on the backrest.
