 What's the correct way to sit? We're going to figure it out with Aaron Alexander right now. Apparently this is a shitty chair. This is a shitty chair. That's the technical term for what this is. Why? Because all the same business that we're talking about with the standing position, we're putting ourselves into this punch-over, folded, depressed position. We're putting stress on our spine. We want to stack that and actually find this called indigenous curve of your lumbar spine, right? So as I'm sitting, if I had a shitty chair like this, I would get on the edge of the shitty chair so that I can come in, reach in, open up my pelvic floor, open up my sit bones, and create a nice solid foundation that I can actually start to bear weight down through my shoulders all the way into my bones. If you can't feel your sit bones contacting the ground, you're probably failing at that point, right? So we're really making sure we're on the front edge of the sit bones and then from there, that kind of corrects most things, to be honest. So most people though, when they're sitting in a chair, how will they sit in a chair? Most people are going to be, instead of being upright like this, like assertive, I'm ready to go, most people are going to be in this position. This is like I got spanked, I need to go to recess, I'm in detention. It's not a very proud position to be in. So if you're on an airplane, for example, what's the correct way to sit on an airplane? If we assume this is an airplane seat, how should we be sitting in that? If you're on an airplane, you need to bring a bottle that's bigger than this, an algae bottle. I would just recommend like an algae bottle, it's a little bigger than this. And you put that bottle behind your thoracic spine, right? So if this bottle was a little bit bigger, this is too small. So you put it up high? Yeah, you put it up high, right? So now from here, imagine this bottle's about here or so, so it's pushing me away from the thing, right? And now, if you look at where my butt cheeks are, now all of a sudden, do you see how I have a lumbar, lordosis, I have a curve in my spine? Yeah. That's what we're looking for. This is healthy and strong, this is discurneation waiting to happen. So you put a, it's like a water bottle, or can it be like your sweater or something rolled up, which you get as long as it's... I like having something that's more solid, so you have more feedback, but yeah, it could be anything. You just probably would stack it up. And when you, which part of the back that you're putting in? So right on, like, what do you call it, the apex of the curve of the thoracic spine, right? Right, so the highest point. And what that does is that relieves pressure on the lower back? That relieves pressure on the whole back. It also opens up the lungs, opens up the heart. Yeah. So you look at your mechanical respiratory efficiency, the way that you breathe, this is not efficient. Punched over like this is not efficient. Stacking that nice and strong, it becomes efficient. Right? And it's well stressed on the organs. Yes. Alright, so if you're watching this now and you're sitting all day at a work desk, try getting a bottle of some sort and putting it on the upper back and also that we should be sitting on the edge of the seat. If you don't know what your sit bones are, the ischial tuberosities, the bony things coming out your butt cheeks, you need to figure that out immediately. Ask somebody, get a yoga teacher, get a physio, somebody, figure that out. And then from there, start sitting on the front edge of those. That's the big thing. If you're on the front edge of those sit bones, then all of a sudden you're starting to put the rest of your body. Yeah. So I can press weight from my head straight nails into my sit bones. As soon as I crunch here and I press weight on my head, now the weight of my head exponentially increases. And now I have this forward head posture that nobody loves, that's excellent. I come up on the front of the sit bones and auto corrects what's happening for the rest of the body. Sweet. There you go. How to sit properly with Aaron Alexander.
