If you only spend 60 seconds on yourself out of every 30 minutes worked, then on an 8-hour working day you would have spent 16 minutes on yourself. A 5-day work week would mean 120 minutes spend on yourself. Those minutes add up and will mean a world of difference.
Our bodies are made to move and not to sit in the same position for hours on hours. The effects of prolonged sittings can be, but are not limited to:
Pressure on the spinal discs
Lower back pain
Pelvis out of alignment
Nerve issues
Tight muscles
Overworked muscles
Weakening of muscles
I used to be someone that worked behind the computer for 8 to 12 hours a day, 5 to 6 days a week and sometimes even 7. It all ended several months after having to put up with sciatica which was something that tremendously affected my life in every aspect. I had to sit for work as I was a programmer, and it was pure hell all day long. It was uncomfortable, but the worst thing was that I was aware of how I treated other people because of the irritation in my lower back non-stop all day long. I was grumpy and not the person I wanted to be. Not soon after, I quit my high-paying job, started pursuing my passion more, and opened a gym in Australia. I reduced my time sitting and increased my time stretching, moving, and working on strength eventually got me over sciatica.
