The bodies of successful white-collar men seem to hold greater value. Coughing uncontrollably while climbing into a Mercedes, then sweating profusely in an executive chair—this stark contrast feels like the saddest irony imaginable, and it's what many white-collar men dread facing most.Let's hear some expert advice on "White-Collar Men's Wellness Practices":
1. Cultivate "Weekend Warrior Syndrome"
The biggest difference between men and women lies in how men bond through sports and camaraderie with friends.
After a week of cutthroat business battles, whether it's an intense basketball game or the more leisurely golf, it gives every part of your body a chance to relax and recharge.Regularly perform stretching exercises; strictly manage weight by joining an appropriate aerobics class; engage in effective muscle-strengthening workouts every weekend. Professor Davis emphasizes the necessity of abandoning or modifying high-impact exercise routines.
2. How flexible are your joints?
"Most men's joints lack flexibility."Tension often builds around the glutes and calves, which can cause pelvic tilt and lead to back soreness. A good way to alleviate this is: Lie flat on the floor, wrap both arms around your left knee, and gently pull it toward your body for about 10 seconds. Repeat with the right knee. Start with once daily, then increase to 2-3 times daily.
3. Learn to Lift Objects Correctly
This may seem like a trivial topic. "Most people simply bend over, grab the item, and stand up," says Skinley. "But this is highly incorrect, as it places excessive pressure on your back, easily causing sharp pain and chronic discomfort. The correct posture is to squat down completely, grasp the object, and then rise slowly."
4. Reduce Your "Beer Belly"
A protruding "beer belly" shifts your center of gravity forward, overburdening back muscles and causing soreness. Activities like stair climbing, swimming, walking, and rowing effectively help control and reduce waist size, restoring your body's natural balance.
