Zoom all day and sitting on my butt seems to make some hip issues flare up (despite daily workouts). Anybody else dealing with "Zoom ass"!?

If zoom ass includes it getting bigger, count me in. No hip issues, yet.

I finally saw an orthopedic surgeon after a terrible chiropractor appointment that was not helpful. Turns out sitting aggressively amplifies a condition called anterior pelvic tilt. Tons of stretches prescribed to supplement my normal workouts and a few modifications for kettlebells to make sure my pelvis stays neutral but the most helpful addition was a standing desk!

Yep! I fully thought I was having back problems and turns out it was 100% hips.

Get into the habit of stretching at the end of the day. I stretch about 20 minutes or so at night and it's really helped with my flexibility. Also a foam roller is great for really getting into your back.

Lunge stretches for the hip flexors

Try squats, russian twists and hip thursts to strengthen your lower back and sides. Its about the only thing that works dor me since I started working from home 4 yrs ago. You can try other exercises as well like lunges and split squats which with workoutyou butt and thighs. The pointvis strengthening muscles and stretching them for more blood flow.

Maybe you need a better chair

Try a balance ball chair. At the start of the full wfh I was in miserable pain but gave the balance ball a try out of desperation and the change was almost immediate

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
