I requested one and I was asked to bring a doctor's note :( Going to my doctor to get it. I don't understand if this will improve our overall health, why is it so difficult to get equipment to make our life easier.

@@Mankofitlisten .. you don’t have to study at a desk 😂 lmaooooo or sit in chair to do so 😂 I’m not sure where your from or if you live under a rock?? But you can easily get a bean bag or even a hammock. It’s not necessary to make every decision hard or calculated 😂 lmaooooo 😂 like really?

⁠​⁠​⁠@@Brloder a beanbag is still a chair and a hammock can also contribute to the very same issues she is stretching to alleviate/prevent. It’s not necessary to be negative or wrongly condescending, especially when you could have easily just kept scrolling. Like really?

Where did you get the desk & chair❓😍

You always have good advice. That's what makes you so amazing. Thanks.

When working from home I use my commute time for a full workout. Then mic in push ups and squats during breaks.

I am a city bus driver and a senior! Stretching is critical, however, weights and walking 12/30/3 has been life changing for me! Have to keep that physical structure strong...❤

Yes indeed. So many people think stretching is the answer to pain and weakness but it’s lack of strength and muscle that causes pain.

OMG. I'm having the same issue, I went from running a restaurant to trading. My back is always hurting and now I walk 5 miles to make up for the sitting. This video was right on time .

Yup. Thank you. True.

I’m glad you experienced this so you can see just what 85 to 95% of everyone goes through!!!

This is so timely! I just went to the doctor a few days about lower back pain! Of course it all comes from me sitting all day at work. Thank you so much Massy!❤❤❤❤

Great info!! Seatting for too long can lead to piriformis syndrome. A very painful condition.

Great footwear too !

Yessssssssss this helps! And is my life! Thank you for being transparent

I'm 58, for the 1st time in my life I finally got a sit down job. During the 6yrs my my muscles and tissues started to deteriorate. I've been doing exercise for 1 month during the pain . It works.

Thanks ❤😊

This here☝🏾!!!! IYKYK sitting is terrible for sciatica and back pain. I wanna quit administrative work because its bad for the body I need movement! These are all similar to what my PT had me do in order to get back to normal after being bedridden ❤

This is good to know especially for my lower back

Thx a lot😊

thank you❤

I needed to see this!

The ankle on top of the knee thing hits everytime

Excellence - thank you!!

A high back chair with lower back support helps too. I had to switch from my low back chair almost as soon as I bought it and I’d never had lower back soreness or pain before.

I drive trucks for a living. It is difficult trying to stay healthy behind the wheel for long periods of time.

Thank you so much!❤

This happens a lot when we fall into patterns. Have you ever tried to set goals that you know you will always achieve? As simple as : today I’m going to walk for 45 mins and stretch for 10? Try setting these goals or moving prior to going to work.

These thirst traps are just wrong

I am trying to recover from severe muscle atrophy in my left thigh 😊

Felt like dis when I used to drive a forklift 😩

Girl, this is why I’m in physical therapy now! All this sitting for work and then I worked out five days a week and didn’t stretch much! Somehow, I injured my left hip flexor and boy is it painful! I’m on the road to recovery, slowly, but surely! It’s a reminder to stretch more and to have a couple days a week dedicated to glute work!

Yup and also invest in a good ergonomic chair if you have to do any work at a desk or sitting

Girl. I've been going through it. My back is so ugh

Omg please please 🙏🏻 do a workout routine for those of us that work sitting on a desk that we can do every hour! I had to stop going to the office because they refused to get me a stand up desk and it was killing my back so I work mostly from home but it hurts my business because I work with clients and I need to be at the office from time to time

This is true because my chiropractor always telling me how to sit up straight. But Massy your monitor needs to be much higher and that's the reason why you're hunched over.

Literally going thru the same rn

Thank you so much good advice i always stretch i just dont know what exactly to do all the time

I am a 56 year old software dev. Once a 4 minute miler. Though it was always in my mind that I need to change this, it hit me like a ton of bricks this year. My body collapses into old man form if I am not mindful. When I am mindful, it happens anyway. I've ruined my body from sitting
