Why sitting on a chair flattens your butt: Trainer reveals the science behind your Desk Derriere - and how to fix it
- Physical therapist Dan Giordano, of NYC, explains sitting can atrophy muscles
- It is all down to the position we sit in and the lack of blood flow to the muscles
- 5 years in an office job could do permanent damage to our bottoms, he warns
Sitting at a desk all day will make your bottom flat, flabby, and saggy.
That is a fact, according to New York-based personal trainer Dan Giordano, of Bespoke Treatments Physical Therapy.
No amount of weekend workouts will offset five days of inactivity, he warns.
And after five years in an office job, he says it's likely the damage will cause the muscle in your derriere to start wasting away.
It all comes down to two things: lack of blood flow and the way most of us naturally sit.
Worse, Giordano explains, the strength of your glutes (gluteus maximus - the muscles in your butt) impacts your pelvic stability, pelvic rotation, and your core.
It means it's not just your butt that will be affected, but your entire workout and physical strength.
