What happens when you sit in a position for too long

1.Your Butt Stops Working

When you sit for very long hours, your gluteus (muscles in your buttocks) which are regarded as the strongest muscles in the human body shuts down. Since your gluteus impacts your hip movement, pelvis rotation, and pelvic stability, which makes it hard to move your hips for some minutes after getting up. What’s bad for your butt is actually bad for your entire body.

2.Causes Back Pain

When you sit for long periods of time, especially with poor posture, your hip flexors tighten up and prevent activation of the gluteus. When this happens, your pelvis can’t rotate forward, causing compression in the lower back which can lead to back pain.

Over time, if it goes unchecked, this can lead to chronic pain. Of course, you’re not likely to experience any negative effects after a few weeks or months of sitting for most of the day. But after a while, it does start to add up.

3.Causes Pain In Other Part Of The Body

If hips or gluteus aren’t working properly, it can increase impact force all the way to the knees and ankles. When the big muscle (the butt) isn’t pulling its weight, the pressure and force relocate to these weaker spots. This will cause pains in your hips, back, and ankles.

4.Makes Butt Workout Routines Less Effective
Inhibited gluteus muscles won’t fire properly, and over time, if they’re not activating regularly, they’ll get weaker. This is called muscle atrophy and can undo any hard work you’ve done to build a strong, sturdy behind.

N.B:- The squats will become harder, in the sense that you lack the strength and/or mobility to perform given moves with good form, especially as you get further along in your workout and need to push yourself harder to keep going.
