Study- Sitting makes your butt bigger

If you spend a lot of time being a couch potato, you may eventually need a bigger couch to accommodate your bigger butt.

Sitting is not just a lack of activity, it’s “active inactivity,” researchers at Tel Aviv University say. Your rear end actually gets fatter from all that sitting.

    bq. If you spend a lot of time being a couch potato, you may eventually need a bigger couch to accommodate your bigger butt.

    That’s like saying ‘not exercising makes you gain weight’.. well duh.

    looks like I’ve been wise in not doing much study for my exams next week 😛 but i think procrastibaking counteracts this….have baked and ate SOOOO much over the last two weeks!

    I love how these articles use provocative titles. Basically if you don’t exercise it’s bad for you full stop. Although you’re not meant to sit still for more than an hour anyway. It’s not good for your muscles and circulation. (We keep trying to tell our uni lecturers this haha) Actually speaking of sitting and studying, yesterday I actually did this for quite a few hours straight and afterwards, my butt wasn’t fatter but it was definitely sore
