Move your butt!!!

I know most of us work in a sedentary environment, i.e. duduk depan komputer from morning to evening. We are actually risking our body and making ourselves susceptible to backache and gluteal muscles atrophy, which loosely translates to sakit bontot. I was searching for lower body muscle groups when I came across this article on Wikipedia. My hubby complained about sakit bontot a few weeks ago and I told him I think you sit too long. After reading this article, I realized that there's some truth in what I said to him although at that time, I was rambling and making up my own theory. Can you imagine that one of your muscles actually forgot how it is supposed to work? For example, your butt muscle or the gluteals forget that it is supposed to move your femur/thigh bones in order for you to climb the stairs. Tak kisah la kalo bontot dah kembang dan out of shape.. but can you imagine yourself unable to walk? That is why we have to make sure that our gluteal muscles don't forget what they are supposed to do and to keep reminding the muscles is simple - remember to MOVE IT! Simple exercises that we can do at work(or home) are climbing stairs and if you have a bike, go cycling! Maybe not the beratus-ratus kilometer kinda cycling, but enough to keep the butt muscles moving. We can couple the exercise with massages and stretching. Stretching will make the muscles supple and more flexy. Just stretch slowly until you feel a little tightness on your butt area. As for massage, takut korang tak tahan la kena lenjan dengan tukang urut. Kalo sakit bontot agak severe, buleh lunyai dibuatnya.. haha Article on gluteal or butt muscles here. Don't forget to move your butt!! :)
