This allows weight distribution to happen and allow you to remain stable. However, if you lean to one side the spine comes out of its natural alignment which can cause the body stress. The main muscle groups used when sitting are your abdominals (trying to keep you upright) and your gluteals, hamstrings and quadriceps.

Standing - When standing the line of gravity should be kept central to the base of support and the base wide enough to remain stable (distribution of weight).
Distribution of load is more easier if the base of support is  wide and the joints are aligned to avoid any one joint or muscle group being over-stressed or over worked. 


Walking - When walking the line of gravity must be kept central to the base of support. This ensures that you remain stable and stress is kept off of your lower back. Slouching forward makes you take your spine out of its natural position and line which leads to stress in the vertebrae. Distributing the load is easier when the spine, hips and knees are all aligned. Its best if you don’t slouch or lock your knees.

The distribution of weight should be spread evenly between each bum cheek in order to balance your hips. You should adjust your seat so your feet are flat on the ground and your knees are at a right angle. You should keep your knees even or having them slighter higher than your hips. Lastly your legs should never be crossed


Standing - When standing it is important to distribute weight because leaning on one leg means that the size of the muscle group used is decreased - two legs are better than one. There are various muscles used when standing and these are the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles. 


Walking - When walking you should start in the correct standing position and as  you begin to walk, you should keep your shoulders back, spine raised, head balanced over your neck and shoulders and keep your chin in. You should also take equal length steps, with a heel to toe gait and allow your arms to swing naturally
