“Office Chair Butt” is What Happens When You Sit All Day and Here’s What Utahns Can Do About It

Three Exercises to do While Working to Strengthen Your Glutes 

This is not an actual condition that any doctor will readily recognize. However, it is something those who consume a lot of social media can spot from a mile away.  

So, if you find your pants slipping from your formally muscled backside, here’s what you can do about it. Basically, you want to do some work on your glute muscles. These can be simple and done right in your office. 

Hip Thrust 

You can actually do this easily right in your office chair. Lean forward, so your butt is off the chair and your arms are on the seat and then lift your rear off the ground.  

Lunges 

Stand up and move your chair out of the way. Begin to kneel but don’t let your knee touch the ground. Alternate between legs. 

Hip Abduction 

Lie on your side and lift one leg up and down in succession. Alternate between legs. 

You can also do simple things like get a standing desk. Take time each hour to walk around and get the blood flowing and take the office stairs as much as possible.
