  Spending much of your time in a chair or on the couch? Be aware it can cause "dead butt syndrome," which happens when one of the three main muscles in the buttock weakens due to sitting all day.
You may have even felt this happening: After a few hours in a seated position, you stand up and feel a pain or numbness in your backside. It can even advance further causing hip and back pain.
Try doing exercises like the "donkey kick." Begin on all fours and keeping your knee bent and foot flexed, lift your right leg until your thigh is parallel with the floor, then lower. Repeat ten times, then switch legs and repeat.
