During
my younger years, I was always scolded for slouching whenever I sat
down. I responded by sitting upright for all of 30 seconds, and then I
would return to that ugly slouched position. Yep, my posture was
terrible and sadly, it’s not that much better these days. Posture is one
of those things that you want to try to fix at a young age by
developing good habits and building up theright muscles. And
that’s why this video by Movement Rx is so interesting. A lot of kids
have a tendency to sit in the “W” sitting position and we don’t really
think twice about it. It’s an “easy” and comfortable position because it
requires less postural control but apparently it can lead to orthopedic
conditions, delayed development of postural control and stability, weak
core muscles, and possibly even delayed motor skills, coordination, and
balance. Yikes… I had no idea!
