""When you are seated, especially when you are actively seated, you can reinforce your posture, turn the core muscles on, and control the pelvis effectively," Hernandez explains. "Think about it: when you're seated upright and stable, you're forced to use your core, not momentum, to move the legs or rotate. Less cheating. More engagement. And if you're doing it consistently throughout the day, you're applying way more total tension to the abs than one short gym floor core session ever could.""
""When you work from home, it's easy to get sucked into deadlines and take minimal breaks. One of the first things that gets pushed to the back burner? Fitness. If you don't have extra time to head to the gym, it's important to be prepared with the right exercises you can do at home. We spoke with Felicia Hernandez, NASM-certified personal trainer and community engagement lead at Eden Health Club, who breaks down four seated exercises that help flatten belly pooch after 40.""
Working from home often causes long stretches of sitting, missed breaks, and deprioritized fitness. Seated movements can be done from a sturdy desk chair and can target abdominal fat without gym time. Active seated posture reinforces posture, engages core muscles, and allows pelvic control, forcing the core to move the legs or rotate rather than relying on momentum. Regular, consistent seated activation accumulates more total abdominal tension than a single brief gym core session. Training the deep core is critical because extended sitting can deactivate the transverse abdominis, allow hip flexors to dominate, stiffen the back, and trap tension in the belly.
