(Primal, 2023) 6. Sitting down in a chair requires mainly lower body muscles. You use your gluteus maximus, hamstrings, rectus abdominis, and quadriceps femoris. Your lower back muscles include iliopsoas, erector spinae, and sternocleidomastoid muscles. Your deltoids and trapezius muscles will help in keeping your body upright. (Primal, 2023) 7.
