Have you ever considered the benefits of sitting on the floor instead of in a chair? In my Fitness Friday episode of The Habits and Hustle podcast, I explore this fascinating topic with my guest, Aaron Alexander, an expert on functional movement and health.

Spending time on the ground, as many healthy cultures around the world do, can have a profound impact on your musculoskeletal well-being, digestion, and circulation. Aaron explains that sitting on the floor helps to heal the joints, bring new fluids to the joints, circulate lymphatic fluid, and improve digestion by keeping your legs closer to your vital organs.

You'll also discover the concept of "neat" (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) and how incorporating more movement into your daily life can lead to significant health improvements.

Aaron Alexander is a Movement Coach, Creator of the Align Method, Author, and Podcast Host.

What we discuss:

The benefits of sitting on the floor compared to sitting in a chair
Low incidence of osteoarthritis in cultures that spend more time on the ground

The concept of NEAT and its importance for health
