Have you heard about “office chair butt?” Despite the silly name, it is a real thing.

The Cleveland Clinic defines it as “a popular term that medical pros refer to as atrophy of your gluteal muscle group.”

In other words, you sit a lot and your butt gets saggy.

What to do? Well, TikTok user @dan.paulaa isn’t taking this risk sitting down.
