Sitting for a long time will make you physically and mentally exhausted. Here are 3 ways to make you sit without getting tired.

Office workers are a group of people who sit for long periods of time. They often sit all day long, so their joints and muscles are prone to stiffness and atrophy, and they feel very tired. So is there any way to keep us from getting tired when sitting for a long time?

A study by the Mayo Clinic in the United States found that the body can only tolerate the same sitting posture for 20 minutes, after which it will feel uncomfortable. It is recommended to stand, stretch or walk every 15 minutes, and change your sitting position at least once every 30 seconds. Hold one thigh tightly with both hands, and massage downward from the thigh to the ankle with a little force. Then, rub from the ankle back to the thigh. Rub the other leg in the same way and repeat several times. This method can make joints flexible, and strengthen leg muscles and walking ability. It can prevent lower limb venous curves, lower limb edema and muscle atrophy, etc.

Hold the wall with one hand, first swing your calf forward so that the toes are pointed forward and upward, then swing it backward, push the toes backward with force, straighten the sole of the foot, and straighten the leg. When swinging your legs, keep your upper body upright and swing your legs alternately dozens of times. This method can prevent atrophy, weakness, numbness, pain in the lower limbs, calf cramps, etc.

3 ways to keep you from getting tired from sitting for a long time

1. Raise the chair so that the thighs are parallel to the ground, which can reduce the pressure on muscles, tendons and bones and prevent musculoskeletal diseases;

2. Choose a chair with a reclining back and place a rolled towel or pillow at the waist. Keep your hands, wrists and forearms in a straight line so that your elbows are at right angles when your forearms are placed on the desk.

3. Keep your head and body in a straight line, leaning slightly forward; your elbows should be close to your body, bent 90-120 degrees; relax your shoulders and let your upper arms hang naturally; place your feet flat on the floor; it is best to put a cushion on the chair.
