- Sitting too long or too wrong creates weakness in individuals, organizations, and society. One key element of transformation includes shifting a weakness to a strength. Shifting sitting from a weakness to a strength transforms us.

He speaks nationally and internationally on numerous ergonomic, health, wellness, longevity, and quality of life topics.

The talk itself was fine, but the intro that lady gave was flawless.
AGREED.
Her charisma was off the charts. LOVED the energy she brought.
I've been told by a physical therapist not to try to maintain the awake position too long. She told me the aware position was more ideal. I've also been told not to sit more than 20 minutes without getting up and taking a break from sitting.
I sit smarter from now on !!! Thanks Ted talks for bringing such an unbelievable useful information for us !!! Stay Blessed all
Breathe often!
Love this talk, I'm gonna make this a habit! Thanks!!
Mindless, aware, awake. 8:08 (5 second-version for the ADHD)
Excellent mentoring for those of us who have to sit much of the time, e.g., at work. I will keep the 'tipping point' in mind.
Brilliant message thank you.
Amazing....must watch
Thanks ted for inviting such curious youngster. I pray for your brother(may be the inspiration you're on stage) and What a coincidence at home iam watching this talk show sitting on stool. Thats like a Half squat without any awareness. So friends get good wooden stool from a carpenter atleast for childrens.
summary: 7:20 sit curved.
Excellent!
I really like this guy
So, our bodies health is dictated by the type of job we have! When I have been at home and without work, I have been the healthiest in my life, because my body tells me when I need a change from sitting or standing or anything else. Unfortunately at the office we just cant get up an move around! No wonder everyone is grumpy!!!!
That's a great realization. In essence we need to listen to our body. Totally agree that we don't have much choice when doing a desk job. I feel working from home is the best way to work as it also allows us to take care of ourselves. I guess a lot of us would have realized this during the pandemic.
why was that woman wearing a GIANT scarf at the back which was completely hiding what he was showing!
Yes but you gotta FEEL it rather than see it. I got the positions despite her lovely scarf and clunky boots.
great discussion, demo, effective at explaining the point, trying to implement while using laptop
Im lost please explain to me about the thumb matching thing to find the right size match chair in concordance to my hand size??? I really need to know urgently please.
And figure out some kind of movement you can do to break up hours of sitting to prevent the body tightening up to stabilize instead of learning to use anatomy (not overly tight fascia) to stabilize.
I would like to know if those seats that have no back and spread the weight of the body onto the knees is a good solution?
Its really a Great research done where we have to do our work by standing. What can be done with the handicap people who donot have limbs. The Greatest Scientist who died recently Stephen William Hawking lived for 76 years. I am looking forward to prove that SITTING is not like SMOKING. One can live LONGER, but in a RIGHT posture. This is Dr.H.M.Arun Kumar PhD, a researcher in Occupational Safety and Health of Computer users and a World Record Holder.

All that tinkering will not replace taking movement breaks every 20 minutes
And that movement break wouldn't replace all that tinkering.
So which is the right position out of those 3 ?
What did he mean by good match.... good fit ??? at around 9:28. Didn't understand that part
Just like the cliche. In choosing the topic, He just wants a standing ovation.
man I tried to sit like he said for just one minute and my back just started burning me !
why?
If possible try to sit on wooden stool for a period of a year whenever you feel like . Slowly your body unknowingly will shift to squat positive . I ve overcome this problem.
@@vilesh8543 my grandfather was farmer, he and his friends always use to sit in squat positions for almost all sit-down hangouts, and my generation use to feel weird why they sit like a monkeys and i can see the difference in long run my parents got slip disc problems but my grandparents and their friends never got that. trust me slip disc is worst thing. final suggestion if you are facing back pains because of this new position, try drinking a glass of cherry juice on a daily basis, (if possible)
Good match, good fit? I actually didn't grasp exactly what he was meaning here? Can someone explain ?
If a chair presses into your back in the wrong spots you will deform your posture to fit the chair. Find a chair which conforms to your body shape when you sit with good posture.
I feel like the explanation he gave could use some work at a certain point it felt to me as if he was contradicting himself.
It helped me understand why it's so hard not to slouch. The good fit happened when there was no gap between the two thumbs. So when we sit in a chair, there's usually a gap between our lower back and the back of the chair. I believe he was saying that we should use some kind of lumbar support to fill in that gap but I'm not sure. I think he has something important to say, but unfortunately, I didn't grasp what he was trying to teach us.
@@janetbeatrice9505 i think you got it, grasped pretty well, well explained for all
@@silverace08 Thanks, Silverace08!
8:06 this seating position can also lead to pelvic tilt, I believe, which is a problem.
Yes, there are contradictory beliefs. Some say tilt is best while others say having sway in the lower back is best. Personally I think sitting is the problem. We've only sat a very few short years ago. Before that we squatted. At 70 I've been squatting as much as possible even when picking something up although it's pretty tough in our society.
@@hew195050 Yes, and when you squat, your back is in a completely different position than what he's recommending here. Don't quite understand what he's saying about a good fit with a chair - seems like the only chair with a good fit would be one without a back
The host is badass! LOL
how can you sit upright with up and down shoulders, your chest must be twisted and under tension and then the tensegrity imbalanced structures dragging left and right, in and out with subluxation and entrapment between joints and soft tissues.
What?
what do you want to know?
I am a Chinese Practitioner in HK, apart from basic Chinese treatments I am also very good at body works, I combined Chinese bone setting skills with Craniosacal Therapy, Touch of health, Brain gym and Polarity therapy together with my over 20.years of practices to gradually formed my own treatment skills which I named it Balanced exercises treatment. I helped quite a number of patients in pains and movement difficulties and also good at facial restoration.
@@user-ti9hv3zc6c paste the link
@@vilesh8543 Thanks for your reply. Can you please tell me exactly what link you want me to view?
@@user-ti9hv3zc6cwas just excited to see how you had refix things without operation. Do you have demo video of your work.
Not to mention that rocking back to 130 degrees hip tilt has been shown to move your spinal discs the least. Slouching forward is also better than sitting up straight. There's a reason we naturally slouch or recline in chairs. We're not meant to sit up straight! Look at people squatting in the third world. They hunch over. Screw sitting straight. Stand straight, sit however you want.
Your Boy Mr Mac you don’t understand the biomechanical difference between slouching in a squat and a chair. In the squat out bodyweight is distributed correctly and little pressure is put on the spine the same cannot be said for sitting. I’m not saying sitting straight up is THE best way to sit but when done correctly can help with stability through the spine and also in the core and slouching certainly isn’t. The best way to sit is not to....the body is ment to move especially the spine
The 120 degrees of recline study was done using lumbar back supported recline. The lumbar angle relative to the hip was 120 degrees and should have included the mentioning of lumbar arch supported recline and not just back rest support.
How has this commet got 10 likes
The woman's scarf pretty much hid what he was trying to show. Too bad nobody noticed that and corrected it. A skeletal diagram would have helped too. As a chiropractor he would have one of those, either a poster or an actual skeleton to manipulate.
WTF! He didnt show any exercise on how to sit better.
I think the point is just sitting that way is the thing to do.
This guy talks in circles. It boils down to "sit up straighter" on a better chair. But that doesn't really treat the underlying health problem. Okay, sitting badly can exacerbate muscular imbalances etc. But the main problem is inactivity. We need to move, much, much more. They've shown that standing desks don't do shit, because they don't incorporate movement. Jeez.
I think you've made a good point. Whether we sit or stand, we are not pumping blood to the heart. We need to engage in some type of movement exercise for 5-10 minutes out of every hour of sitting....that would make sense....I guess?
HeT.
who else is listening to this while simoutaniously smoking and sitting
1:32 SUSSY SUSSY ALERT !!! 🚨🚨🚨
Smoking and sitting which is worse?? We have to/ need to sit we don't have to smoke stupid comparisons can I be bothered watching the rest if that's the mentality?.....nah.
Wendy Bendy what is your underlying point, I didn’t pick it up
He said smoking vs smoking because both you are killing you my man, it has nothing to do with optionality
Okay, so does that mean your lower back muscles are NOT supposed to be relaxed while sitting? That is a strain after only a few minutes!
Anyone else here because of an e learning assignment🤦🏽♂️
How come tension in your back will lead to better sitting posture? Absolutely useless and harmful advice here.
