Anybody else struggle to not sit on your office chair like this?
Image description: A crude drawing of a stick man sitting in a chair in an unusual position. Right leg is bent at the knee with the sole of the foot flat on the seat and the knee up towards the chin. The left leg is bent at the knee where the lower leg is flat against the seat and the foot is on the seat under the buttocks.
Not sure on your age, but as you age you realise it’s not been good for you. Particularly the lower back. I’m 35+. Luckily I’m active in fitness so it could be worse if someone is mainly sedentary.
As someone who was significantly more sedentary, and lived in a environment where I couldn't stand up straight for a few years, yeah, I was getting issues from this around 16+, late 20's now and I have scoliosis and an asymmetry of my thorax...
I guess it's hard enough staying still so I usually shift around a bunch. I haven't noticed any back problems yet. I have been trying to improve my posture the past year or so.
I sit with one foot on the floor and the other foot (leg bent out to the side) beneath my opposing knee. I think this may have contributed largely to the miniscal tear I had to get surgery on two years back.
As a dude with weird AF sitting positions (seriously, this is vanilla compared to the curl of limbs I can become), I've never once crushed my junk from sitting. I don't know how people have trouble with them.
