Diet Hot Spot - Lifting the Pancakes

Written by Sky Taylor, Diet Bites

Flat Buttock Syndrome Due to Sitting All Day At Work OR Home

Seconds upon seconds, minutes upon minutes, hours upon hours - and suddenly the bottom-side feels totally numb. Not even taking a potty break seems to help to puff things back into place.

If you're job involves sitting in a chair most of the day OR driving, you may feel at times like your bottom is slowly transforming into a pancake.  

Although it might not be possible to get up and move around for a set time, there are a few things that almost anyone can do to relieve pressure on the bottom-side.

While walking is great to get the circulation flowing, it doesn't provide much in the way of relief for tired, mashed buns. The stairs will.

Healthy Tips to Assist

Here are a few other tips that might help inflate the pancake:

- shifting weight from side to side throughout the day might provide relief

- take a brisk walk before heading to work, then another brisk walk during lunch after eating

- for hard chairs, bring in a decorative, yet comfy cushion

- Stretching may also be of help in relieving pressure on the buns.  

Buttock Exercise

Try this stretching technique only if you are physically able.

While you are in the restroom, reach towards the sky while going to your tip-toes, then lean forward leaving the arms stretched.  

You should feel a gentle pull in the legs.

Miscellaneous Exercise Tips

When you're not chained to a chair or seat, the following exercise tips can make your weight loss diet more productive while keeping your body safe and healthy - while adding notes of enjoyment to your day.

Did you know that the amount of calories you burn for a specific activity depends on the amount you weigh? A 100 pound individual will burn less calories during the activity than a 200 pound individual.

During hot months, take care to wear a hat while walking and exercising outdoors. A straw hat is one of the better choices as it allows 'vents' for air to circulate while blocking out the sun's harsh rays.

Prepare yourself to experience fun while interacting in The Great Outdoors.  

Bird migration, haunting winter scenes, mountains capped in snow are just the tip of the iceberg of adventure that you can enjoy while getting fit in the Outdoor World of Mother Nature.

If you spit into the wind and it blows back into your face, stay indoors for the day or face the world tomorrow looking like a rabid Alfalfa.

Instead, enjoy The Great Indoors! Take a short journey to your local skating rink - or ice rink, where the temperature is at least controlled and there are people to pick you up when you fall and your tongue gets stuck.
