<span style="font-weight: bold">How to stand up</span>

“Believe it or not,” writes Michael Powell, author of <span style="font-style: italic">101 Things You Should Know How to Do</span>, “there’s a wrong way to get out of a chair…Here is a more ergonomic method that uses less energy, places less stress on your back and neck, and feels easier, too.”

His tips include:

1. Place your feet flat on the ground with your knees facing forward.

2. Think of a line going from the middle of your pelvis, out the top of your head and rising into the sky.

3. Imagine someone is pulling on this line to help you to move forward and up.

4. Use your hand to push yourself upward, Press them gently on the seat of the chair next to your thighs, keeping your shoulders relaxed and your arms slightly bent.

5. Rise in a smooth and fluid movement. <span style="font-weight: bold">If you have to jerk to give yourself momentum, you are doing it wrong.</span>

6. Breathe out as you rise. Take another breath in after you are standing up.

Who here can still get out of a chair without letting out a grunt or a moan?

The day somebody brought it to my attention that I was doing so was the day I knew age had finally caught up to me.
