11 Posture Fixes for the Indian Work-From-Home Generation

7. Activate your core while sitting

Core muscles are not just for gym selfies; they support your spine for everyday sitting. Simple seated pelvic tilts engage the lower abdominal muscles and teach you to sit with a neutral pelvis. Sit upright, tilt the pelvis forward briefly, then tilt it back and feel the lower belly engage; repeat gently for 10–12 reps. You can also do seated marches: lift one foot a few centimetres, then the other, while keeping your torso steady. These low-intensity moves are discreet and work while you answer emails or wait for a meeting to start. Stronger core control helps you avoid collapsing into the chair and supports longer periods of comfortable sitting without strain.
