The article discusses the rise of adult tummy time, a movement that mimics positions used by infants and yoga, now popular on TikTok. This practice involves lying face down with forearms propped up, helping to combat the negative effects of prolonged screen use, termed 'tech neck'. Experts, including Lauren Glisic, emphasize that this simple and equipment-free exercise enhances spinal health, promotes proper posture, and aids in breathing, making it a beneficial routine for those suffering from tech-related discomfort.
Adult tummy time finds you lying on your stomach, your torso propped up by flat forearms... the majority of sharers insist that the practice is the key to better posture.
Tummy time offers a direct contrast to the shape that many of us take throughout the dayâaka hunched over screens and steering wheels.
When an adult gets into a prone (face-down) position, we're encouraging spinal extension... the opposite of the forward-flexed posture most people fall into during screen time.
