Different Ways To Sit On A Chair

10 different ways that you can sit on a chair (or couch) and improve muscle imbalances

In general, we sit waaay too much. We sit when we eat, when we drive, when we go to work/school, when we watch tv, when we read, etc… You get it, we sit a lot!

When sitting you want to think about a couple key posture tips:

  • Maintain a slight arch in your lower back (by sitting on the front half of your sit bones)

  • Sit on both sit bones evenly

  • Try to keep your ears inline with your shoulders

  • Anchor your lower ribs (no rib thrusting)
