I sit at my desk all day. What are some of the immediate or short-term effects I might feel from this sedentary lifestyle?
Common short-term effects of too much sitting include:
- Low Energy: Sluggish circulation makes you feel tired.
- Muscle Weakness: Core and leg muscles get weak, affecting stability.
- Pain & Stiffness: Neck, back, and hip pain from slouching and stiff joints.
- Slow Digestion: Can lead to constipation.
- Inefficient Metabolism: Body stores more fat and processes sugar poorly.
- Poor Mood: Inactivity can negatively impact your feelings.
Why it happens: Your body adapts quickly to inactivity, slowing your metabolism and letting muscles weaken, which makes it even harder to move and feel good.
