@postureguy: Sitting for extended periods causes the muscles at the front of your hips—your hip flexors—to become tight and shortened. At the same time, the glutes in the back grow weak and overstretched. This imbalance causes your pelvis to tilt forward into what’s called an anterior pelvic tilt, which throws off your posture and alignment from the ground up. One way to help reverse this is with the Air Bench exercise. 
Find a sturdy wall and wear shoes so your feet don’t slip. Walk your feet forward so your knees are at a 90° angle—or even a bit higher if that’s more comfortable. Keep your knees about a fist-width apart to prevent compensation. Tuck your pelvis under and flatten your lower back into the wall. Distribute your weight evenly into your heels, and press your lower back against the wall as if you're pushing through your heels. Let your upper body relax, take deep breaths into your belly, and rest your hands on your thighs with your palms facing up. This strengthens postural muscles and helps reposition the pelvis into a more neutral, upright alignment. ✅ Want the full routine?
