Your Butt Is Asleep: Gluteal Amnesia 

A 2018 JAMA Network Research Letter that looked at almost 6,000 U.S. adults found that 25.7% report sitting for more than eight hours a day.

Sitting on your butt day after day causes what’s called gluteal amnesia (the muscles forget how to work). And that has a ripple effect on more than your cellulite. It destroys core strength and balance, damages cardiovascular health and increases your risk for obesity, diabetes and some cancers. A study in JAMA Oncology even found that cancer survivors with prolonged daily sitting and little to no physical activity had a far higher chance of death, whether from their cancer or other causes.

Suffering gluteal amnesia also can cause lower back and hip distress, says Andrew Bang, a chiropractor at the Cleveland Clinic’s Wellness Institute. “Muscle weakness can compress, pull or pinch the nerves, leading to numbness.” No wonder a more popular term for the condition is Dead Butt Syndrome!

The solution: Stand up every 30 to 60 minutes — walk, take stairs, jump up and down, take a spin on the stationary bike.
