If you spend most of your day sitting at a desk, in the car, on the sofa, or all of the above, you’re definitely not alone. The average adult can sit for over ten hours a day, according to Harvard Health, and our bodies feel it: tight hips, rounded shoulders, a stiff lower back and that general “compressed” feeling that hits the moment you stand up.
As someone who works from home and spends more time on a laptop than they’d like to admit, I’m constantly on the hunt for exercises that can undo hours of sitting. It didn’t take me long to realize that Pilates is our best friend when it comes to “anti-desk” movement with its focus on alignment, controlled strength and restoring balance to the body.
