How is sitting cross legged bad for you?

Sitting cross-legged can lead to poor posture, which may strain the lower back and hips over time.

Additionally, prolonged cross-legged sitting might exacerbate muscle imbalances and contribute to stiffness in the hips and lower body. Regularly changing positions and incorporating stretches can help mitigate these effects.
