Sitting Cross Legged

[milly143]

I've always found it really uncomfortable to sit normally, with bum on chair and feet on floor so I always sit with my legs tucked under me, like a little Buddah, even on my office chair. Am I likely to end up with dodgy knees by my 30's if I keep sitting like this?

No.

I have always done that milly and my knees are fine

Good. It felt like my left leg was about to fall off when I stood up a minute ago. I was worried I might be doing something to my joints. Never know whether to believe the old wives tales.

[ummmm]

I usually sit crossed legged as well. No problems so far...

I cant sit like that anymore without have hip dislocation. Am double jointed & used to be quite supple.

i always sit with one leg under me. i know stting crossed legeed is not good for the circulation.

It hurts for me to sit cross legged at the moment but I used to quite a lot. Only time it ever bothered me was when I got pins and needles!

it's fine if your back is quite straight. if you sit with your feet to one side.. the same side, that isn't great on your lower back.
