How Bad is Your Desk Slouch for You, Really? - EP 1
What's your desk posture look like? Would you describe yourself as more of a Crone of the Woods or a Prawn? In this episode, I get into something every desk worker is intimately familiar with: sitting. Sometimes, it feels like that’s all we do! You may have heard that "sitting is the new smoking" and a standing desk will save you, but the truth is a little more nuanced. The good news: you don't need to budget for an adjustable desk. The better news: you might get to keep your favourite slouch. I'm all for embracing our crone era, but let's keep it mindful!Listen in to learn:What's really going on in our bodies when we sit all day;The surprisingly simple fix anyone can manage;Easy stretches that take seconds and leave you feeling great.Get the episode transcript: https://www.shannonkirk.ca/s/FTW-Ep-1-Transcript.pdfSubscribe to the newsletter: https://www.shannonkirk.ca/newsletter
