Are You Sitting Too Much?

Although it's a lengthy video, it is eye-opening. For me, I used to jog. That was putting a strain on my joints, so what I began doing was intervals. I now walk to a point and then sprint to the next point and continue that routine until I've run out of points. Afterward I feel better than I did with the constant up and down pounding on my feet, legs, and knees. It works for me. And thank you, Heather.

Your coccyx?

Seriously?

I get a tender bottom, and have to go for a wander.

I do agree with the info, but they have exaggerated the threat imo.

lol yeah, it's all about finding a happy and healthy medium!


Yes, cherry, my coccyx! It gets pretty painful to the point where I can't sit for long, or at least not in certain positions. I bought myself a pillow to help; it has an area cut out for the tailbone.

My butt doesn't get sore very much, unless I sit on a hard surface, but whose wouldn't? But my tailbone does kind of stick out a bit, and it also points to the side a little.

I did fall on it when I was younger, so I'm not sure if I damaged it way back then without realizing the extent. But I do know posture and sitting for too long can cause coccyx pain, and I have done both of those things regularly.. =/ Now that I am having issues I am working on sitting properly and not sitting for hours at a time. I started having the pain a few months ago, and it has gotten a little better, but some days are still worse than others.
