Your poor posture builds over time. The more you slouch, the more pressure you put on certain joints and muscles in your body. Your back is the first place this starts.
But this pressure can create a ripple affect throughout the body. As your joints and muscles grow tired, the rest of your body will try to pick up the slack. Over time, it can lead to aches and pains in places you wouldn’t expect. Many people spend years searching for results when the answer is simple—it’s all in the way you carry yourself.
If you spend hours sitting at a desk each day (and consequently most of those hours hunched over at work), you might start to notice you have some difficulty breathing.
This is most often not due to lack of working out—although working out will definitely help your breathing—it’s caused by poor posture while you work. It’s easy to get caught up slouching over your desk all day. While you’re spending all that time using your back in ways it wasn’t intended, your chest muscles are getting tighter and weaker. Eventually, they’ll get so tight and weak that you’ll start to feel a pressure in your chest.
