The term “OFFICE CHAIR BUTT” is trending, and there’s a good chance you already have it. But don’t worry, it’s reversible.
“Office chair butt” is when you’ve got a flat, saggy, unimpressive backside because you sit too much at work. Even if you have the best office chair in the world, too much sitting can cause your butt muscles to atrophy over time.
Just standing up and moving throughout the day can help a lot though. Here are a few easy ways to avoid office chair butt . . .
1. Pace around when you’re on a phone call. Inside or outside, up and down a hall, or just in a circle. It doesn’t matter as long as you’re moving.
2. Put something you need regular access to a few feet from your desk. Like if you use your printer a lot, don’t have it within arm’s length.
3. Choose a bathroom that’s a little farther away. Maybe even one on a different floor, and take the stairs.
4. Stand up and do some butt clenches several times a day. You could also try toe lifts, or just march in place while reading emails.
5. Walk to a coworker’s desk instead of calling or sending an email. A little face-to-face contact is good for your mental health, and your butt.
Anything that gets you up and moving is good. You just don’t want to spend eight straight hours a day sitting, or your butt might disappear.
