New study published this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine shows that sitting for an extended period can be a contributor to heart diseases, diabetes, and obesity.  

Yes, we know that in the modern world, you have to be at your desk, YBM has long been advocating using devices like the hula chair and de-stablizing cushions to make your muscles engaged during sitting.  We also ask you to sit tilted with the entire back supported during driving to protect the spine and disc. Also, it's good to exercise for the low back every hour during sitting.  Go back to some of our original articles on exercises.
