Your desk job is destroying your body and ruining your health.
Here are 5 exercises you can do to fix it 👇
Some of your muscles become shortened and overly tight.
Others become stretched and weak.
You've taught your body that this is its resting position.
Now it has to unlearn it.
Sitting in a chair for long period will do this too you.
Your butt sticks out, your belly protrudes, and you will have lower back pain and horrible hip mobility.
Fix it 👇
First, the glutes:
Do glute bridges. 3 sets to failure. If they're too easy, do the single leg version.
The best exercise I've found for this is the banded hip distraction 👇👇
Loop it around an upright (squat rack or bed post works well).
Loop it around your rear leg and descend into a lunge. Lean back to increase the stretch. Hold 30s.
- Barbell rows
- Dumbbell rows
- Machine rows
- Bodyweight rows
But if you're just going to do one, I would do facepulls 👇👇
You do not want much weight here at all.
Go slowly, really squeeze the contraction at the end of the movement.
Go for high reps, 15-20 reps.
Stop when you can't get another rep with good form.
Add in band pull aparts to improve your shoulder posture.

The right compound exercises will strengthen weakened muscles from Years of desk duty.
There should be more sets of pulling than pushing to keep shoulders in the proper alignment.

Stan Lee, who died Monday at 95, was born in Manhattan and graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx. His pulp-fiction heroes have come to define much of popular culture in the early 21st century.
Tying Marvel’s stable of pulp-fiction heroes to a real place — New York — served a counterbalance to the sometimes gravity-challenged action and the improbability of the stories. That was just what Stan Lee wanted. https://t.co/rDosqzpP8i
The New York universe hooked readers. And the artists drew what they were familiar with, which made the Marvel universe authentic-looking, down to the water towers atop many of the buildings. https://t.co/rDosqzpP8i
The Avengers Mansion was a Beaux-Arts palace. Fans know it as 890 Fifth Avenue. The Frick Collection, which now occupies the place, uses the address of the front door: 1 East 70th Street.

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ
1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE
2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less. https://t.co/UqtS1lpw3n
3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)
(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)
4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.
For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3
5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)
