Everyone's body is different. Sleeping on a firmer mattress will help some people. It will make things worse for others. Same goes for sleeping on an a hard surface. Beyond that idea, Sitting Disease is a real thing. No amount of exercise alone will counteract it. Only sitting less is better along with exercise. To your point about Asian cultures it is also common to be shorter in height and be lighter in weight. This body structure lends itself to squatting and sleeping on hard(er) surfaces. A person's body composition is important when talking about what experiences has helped. In contrast, my dad used to lay on the floor and watch TV and he's 6'2" and weighed (at the time he would lay on the floor) 280lbs. Everybody's body is different.

I remember hearing somewhere decades ago about the importance of this "childlike" sitting posture, the ability to do it or not being an important measure of flexibility. In my career as a firefighter, it was one of the first physical tests we had to do during recruitment. Later, as an instructor with the Fire Service, I was amazed to find how small a percentage of young and otherwise fit young people were capable of sustaining this posture. This is an important reflection of how the modern world has taken away something important from us; our ability to move freely and easily through our world.

As a ballet enthusiast I find this very interesting - the most important aspect of ballet technique is posture and turnout, where our core has to stay activated, shoulders back and pelvis tucked in. Turnout consists of pushing the heels forward by activating our glutes. If you don't get the foundations right, it will mess up your technique when you do more complicated moves and lead to serious injuries - this is actually the biggest factor for injuries in the dance industry; professional dancers often forget their basic technique due to the pressure of having to do bigger jumps, more turns, better turnout ect.

My dad's balance is too poor to stand on his own (probably from years of inactivity, as well as my mother.) However, it's getting them moving, helping their energy, moving in the right direction rather than the trajectory of deterioration.

Depression is worse do what you can but try to be positive

The best thing my parents did for me as a kid was put me in gymnastics for fun. Because I learned all these "cool moves" in gymnastics, I have always remained flexible. I only realized how different my body was compared to others when in university.. I got really into yoga and was naturally "good" at the poses compared to my friends who seemed to struggle until they got used to it. Never had back pain in my life (besides after a serious workout), even from a bad night's rest. My husband and I used to game together a lot, and after 2 hours he would be all sore and stiff from sitting and I never understood how that happens so easily to him

In a nutshell, we're all born with a natural J-shaped spine. Long sitting periods in modern age cause unnatural spine deformation into an S-shaped spine, which is the cause of many back problems. The current fitness industry emphasizes muscle over movement, which is a backwards approach. Prioritizing muscles over movements result in poor posture and injury; whereas a focus on movement is a more natural approach that brings more benefits in comparison, such as greater range of motion, flexibility, correct posture as well as muscle development with a lower chance for injury. Spinal movement is the most fundamental movement to have evolved in all mammals (as apparent in the movement of fish, reptiles, apes and humans). The correct emphasis on movement therefore must begin with the understanding of the spine and the proper engagement of it via spinal exercises (such as the bridge) and substitution of unhealthy habits such as sitting in one position for too long or slouching. Investing in standing desks and engaging in movement-centered exercises such as yoga and gymnastics are examples of practically applying this knowledge to our life. An ancient proverb states, "you are as old as your spine."

Honestly, I'd rather have a lumbar problem than a cervical one (I've had both and would gladly choose the lumbar pain any day)

My chiro told me to get up and move every 45 minutes. That made no diff for me, until one day I got up after 20 mins. Then I finally realised that he said - I could feel the muscles just starting to stiffen up, and walking released them. 45 mins was just too long for me, by then the muscles could not be released by just a short walk to the kitchen.

I definitely get your point, but I don't think that in the past people were more flexible, unless we think about people in prehistoric past. Apart from that, during the classical period and then during the middle ages up until 60/70 years ago, the majority of the population would farm, which is a tough job to do, especially without some mechanical help; I don't think this led people to be flexible. On the contrary, they probably had very stiff muscle and joints, and suffer from muscular/skeletal problem from a younger age compared to the present. And those that weren't farmers, worked in factories, where the conditions were just as tough. Just a thought though...

When I had my own children I saw this, and implemented fixing my own movements. It has been amazing!

The 2 key takeaways from this: 1. Practice the "Asian Squat" - Keep both feet flat on the floor and go down into a squat as low as you can with your bum basically hanging as low as possible. You shouldn't feel tension in your thighs. Then rest your arms upon your knees. [It's really hard at first - practice!] 2. Stand strong - Tuck your belly button in, keep your shoulders back and high. Feet flat on the floor and lightly squeeze your heels together. Your feet should make a V shape. If your feet are pointing straight ahead parallel to each other, you're going to fall over easily!

My parents cant see that even after I tell them over and over what the cause is. I am 33 now. How lucky your kid is.

I believe him and found my hack for modern day life, since squatting wouldn’t be welcome in places we visit, the important thing is to to make sure your weight is on your pelvic bones, that ensures the spine to straighten and then remember to push your chin with a finger so the skull sits on the spine. Shoulders fall back in place and a kind of ramp model agility swipes down the entire body. The legs making righ angles from the hip, knees and ankles. The only thing important is to sit on a hard surface, I prefer the floor, but when on a couch, I either sit in the front edge or the back edge, else plop a board or hard cushion on my chair. The result: u feel really light and don’t feel the need to collapse to rest

I’ve always had the habit of sitting on the arm of my chair. Taken a lot of flack for not being able to sit like a “normal” person. But I’m over 60 & never had a sit down job... nor any back or leg pain. Other than sitting, I’m pretty agile.

I was about to go out and do something and then this was recommended to me so now I’m here sitting down while watching this

People walk badly too. Movement like kids- when they move they lean forward to get momentum. They don’t walk straight up and stretch the legs out - there’s so much more to say here. Love the talk it seemed authentic and centered. Thank you.

One of the most productive of these talks I've seen. I pursued bodybuilding off and on most of my life and it wasn't until I found Mark Rippetoe of Starting Strength that all of this started to make sense, and I actually started to build a healthy strong body (that showed it). Most of my life I was focusing on individual muscles and little movements like biceps curls, etc. This is very flawed. We have to do what this guy is saying to do, focus on MOVEMENT and the BODY knows what to build. He had me focusing on basic barbell movements that the body had to work as a unit to achieve. One of the memes people love to use about him is his saying "hip drive", which he commands you do during the squat, the bread and butter of his program. I had a lot of problems that were solved doing his program, not to mention building a very strong, sizeable body in short order without steroids. Now if I could just solve the bone spur problem in my spine (either thanks to genetics or well, SITTING) I'll be gold.

Sit on the floor like the Eastern cultures. These are practices that have tested time. Sitting on the floor for eating food, passing bowels in the squatting manner, squatting down for rest (seen even by farmers) keeps you healthy and many might complain of arthritis but my great grandmother seldom did. She lived in the rural side where the concept of chairs isn’t as common as the bench where it’s easier to slouch. Crossing your legs as you sit makes keeping the spine straight less of a conscious task and a posture itself.

the title, to me, pretty much says: teachers are ruining us by making us sit in desks all day.

Those were the best teachers ever, and I actually understood more concepts, and got higher test scores. Win-win- and win.

Currently one year into retirement after 30 years of teaching, which involved excessive time sitting each day. Been fixing my wreck of a house; no major excise undertaken. But, little sitting down. Still not a body beautiful, but… horrible neck pain of ten years completely gone, terrible varicose veins that made me too embarrassed to wear shorts largely gone, swollen ankles with sock lines gone. So this video resonates, a fascinating watch. All desk users, especially the teaching profession, be wary that the laptop sitting curl really does do damage. I ignored all advice about posture in my tunnel vision teaching life, don’t be as foolish as me.

I've worked in a garage for thirty years always on my feet, I am a slim build but I have a core that money can't buy. This guy is making sense.

Your story made me sit up straight. And stand up. Amazing information and presentation. Thank you Robert.

I started playing drums when I was seven. This meant I had to sit on a throne, which offered no back support for long periods of time to practice. When I was fifteen I fell of a forty foot dry waterfall and landed on my back resulting in a compression fracture of my lumbar vertebrae. My first thought was that I wouldn't be able to play anymore. With the aide of a back brace I made a full recovery. When I was twenty-one I played six hours a night, six nights a weak for six months strait. I never suffered from any back pain. Later on like any good musician I worked construction as well as performing at night. I was a tile setter and this is truly back breaking work but I was always careful not to bend when I lifted heavy buckets or shoveled. I lifted with my knees. I did start having some back pain after I began working with computers sitting in a cubicle for 8 to 10 hours a day. One of my band mates was a personal trainer and he showed me that if i stood with my feet crossed and reached upward with one arm and alternated this stretching exercise it would alleviate the pain.What's the point. Never sit hunched over a keyboard for a period longer then 20 minutes. Stand up, walk around, stretch your spine. Be careful. Back injuries are painful and permanent.

I sit all day for a living & it is very hard on my body. I'm an avid stretcher but can only do them on a mat because of severe mobility issues & pain in my feet. I stretch 30 minutes in the morning & 25 minutes on my lunch break 5 days a week. I'm very flexable but no matter how much I stretch, my hamstrings are always super tight. I stretch them a lot but it doesn't seem to matter. It's like they knotted up & I can't get the knots out. I love what stretching does for my body. It doesn't matter what condition you're in. You can stretch & over time with consistancy, you will be amazed at how flexible you have become.

One of the simplest and yet most important talks I ever watched from TED. Stop sitting, start moving. So on point, congratulations!

I've been working in a pain management clinic for a few years. The main unifying factor for all our patients is a lack of regular exercise in their daily lives. Just because you are not overweight, DOES NOT mean you shouldn't train. Everyone must train. Their whole lives. A 10-15 minute daily routine is sufficient and everyone can make time for it. If your muscles are weak, all your weight is carried by your various joints, including the joints of the spine. This is what causes back and joint pain and accelerates arthritis.

Try bridging my man, with a slow progression

Excellent information. We teach this and other postural stance techniques daily! Good job!

Body building taught me body mechanics. I realized that a deep squat is where all the power in your body comes from. Master the deep squat and you'll have a back that cannot be hurt. Later I found that squatting was easier and more comfortable then kneeling and it looks weird but a good neutral squat is easier then standing for long periods of time. Squatting is a very basic human movement that we have been trained to give up.

Fascinated to learn .. as although standing for long periods of time in work .. I saw my parents health decline due to this specific poor health situation

This is very interesting, I have to admit. Sometimes when I watch these talks, I think that what they're talking about won't really amount to anything with the way the world is today or that it doesn't or won't really matter in the real world. But, these nuances about the body, the joints, natural movements, and posture as it relates to the performance and durability of the spine in the physical anatomy of the modern man, really does *MAKES A WHOLE LOT OF SENSE.* I've always felt that there should be a science about physical movement of the body as it relates to performance, durability, and posture. It shouldn't always be about pushing limits as it is in sports. What about simply the preservation/maintenance of the aging body? Again, this perspective makes a whole lot of sense.

I wish I had learned about this so much sooner!!!! :( I've always been busty, but I didn't get a proper fitting bra until my mid 20s. By the time I found out *America's bra sizing is ALL WRONG* I had already been suffering from back pain since my teens. Then I was pregnant with twins and the pressure on my back and the pain got much worse. I went to a chiropractor a year and a half ago and she told me I was 5-10 years away from severe arthritis in my lower spine and it was contributing to headaches and pain in my neck AND shoulders. Now *I have a time limit on how long I can stand and I have to REST my back daily like an old person and I'm only 30.. :I* But, of course, in good old America.. Chiropractors aren't covered and neither is preventative care, so I can't afford to get any treatment. I've tried yoga, but I have to be extremely careful or one wrong move and I'll mess my back up for HOURS. Same thing with heavy lifting - never mind exercising. I've tried to strengthen my core and upper body, but the pain gets too bad. :'(

I have been in agreement with this for several years. I almost never sit now...I stand or lie down most of the time. I learned this the same way Roger did - I had back problems. I've been a powerlifter for several years, and the best strength coach I ever had said the exact thing about kids: they exhibit perfect squat form, and we need to unlearn some of the incorrect things we generally pick up after toddler-hood.

This is a timeless speech, that should be heard by every human.
