What is Butt Syndrome?

Butt Syndrome, or "Dead Butt Syndrome," occurs when sitting for extended periods causes muscles in the buttocks to weaken and deactivate

Extended sitting can contribute to poor posture, reduced circulation, and increased risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes

Common signs include hip and lower back pain, stiffness, and difficulty standing up after sitting

Break up long periods of sitting with short walks, stretches, or standing breaks. Aim for at least 5 minutes of movement every hour

Incorporate exercises like squats, lunges, and glute bridges into your routine.These exercises target and strengthen your glute muscles

Adjust your chair and desk height to maintain proper posture. Keep your feet flat on the floor, knees at a right angle, and your back supported to minimize strain on your muscles

Invest in an ergonomic chair and adjustable desk to promote better sitting habits. Ergonomic adjustments can help prevent discomfort and improve overall health while working

Set reminders to stand or stretch regularly throughout your workday
