So they say that sitting too much shortens your life and all that. They also say that most of us sit incorrectly. I know I do. I constantly slide my butt forward and slouch. And I was thinking, what I need is a seat belt to keep me from sliding forward. But such a thing doesn't seem to exist. There must be some problem with them that I am missing. Since Lemmy has lots of desk jockeys, I figured I would ask here.

If you rely on some kind of harness to hold you up, you're not using your muscles properly

You're gonna end up with different muscle problems if you rely on it to hold you in place for long periods of time Vs just sitting and supporting yourself naturally

Sure, but I already have significant muscle problems... But I wasn't looking for a harness, more like a belt that would be uncomfortable if I tried to slide my butt forward. So more like a reminder...

Take your belt off and wrap it around the back of the chair and your waist.

I work from home... what belt... they are lucky I wear pants. :)
