is it a habit of yours to cross legs while sitting on a chair?

Sitting cross legged and up on the couch is one of the most comfortable sitting positions for me, but can't do that everywhere.And certainly not while sitting on a chair because there isn't enough space..lol I do cross my legs one over the other while my feet are on the ground though.

I've never really thought about it, but now that you bring it up I do tend to cross my legs. I cross at the knee if I'm sitting in an easy chair, but when I'm working at my desk I cross at the ankle.

Nope. In fact, I'm a sprawler. Which probably explains why I don't wear many skirts. It's also hard to remember not to do this at work, which would look really unprofessional. If I'm not sprawled out in a chair, I tend to sit in half lotus (with one foot up on my other leg). I guess it just depends on my mood and what I'm doing really.

Oh my!!! I so do that all the time!!! :) It's actually not a good idea to do it all the time, because we're stretching always in the same way and I've heard people even got callus like scars because of that. If I"m on a sofa I cross both legs underneath me, if I'm here in the computer i usually am sitting on one leg. I have to keep reminding myself that I can't do that all the time, but it's difficult since it's an habit. I even made a small stool low enough for me to keep my feet on while I"m on the computer, but I still end up sitting on one leg LOL It just feels more comfortable to me.

LOL, what a bad habit! And one I confess to. I had to uncross my leg after reading your discussion. :P It is actually bad for circulation too.. it is real strange when you think about it. Why do people like to cross legs so much?

i do-i pull my legs up and cross them. unless i'm wearing a dress-then i resist the urge. i'm just more comfortable that way.

When Im on my couch I will have my legs crossed sideways/sitting on my feet.I hope I described that right.I think its the same way you sit.LOL

I can either sit cross legged on the florr yoga style or when I sit on a chair I usually sit with my legs straight as I am always aware of the circulation or qi flow factor. I think practicing tai ji has made me conscious not to inhibit the flow of energy that kind of gets cut off when one crosses one's legs. So I deliberately try to always have my legs straigh when I am sitting for this as my main reason.

Yah, most of the time i used to cross my legs while sitting on a chair. Because it makes me comfortable crossing my legs. Same here, sometimes, i'm not aware that i'm already crossing my legs while sitting. While i'm eating, or anywhere i go, i always cross my legs while sitting on a chair..it's also a habit of mine..

I am comfortable sitting with my two legs straight upon the floor.I found it more relaxing than sitting correctly with two legs bended.

Same here. You make me smile just right now, I never noticed that I am also sitting in cross legs. I think this is natural for every woman like us. In my personal opinion, I feel much comfortable sitting with that position.

Yah, it's been my habit. But I usually tuck in my right leg under my left leg.. hehe, especially when eating at the dining table, that's my habit ;)

yes but mostly when i'm out, like in the restaurants or friends houses but when i'm in our house i usually sit hugging my two feet in front of me, or sometimes indian seat, made me comfortable sitting on like that..

I am now sitting on my bed with my legs crossing just in front of my computer. I dont know if this is a good habits. It always make my feet hurt a lot.

I have the habit of crossing my legs when I am sitting down. I do this a lot whether at home or at a restaurant or the bowling alley. It makes me feel more relaxed and at ease. I rarely sit on my feet as I find it uncomfortable. Once in a very long while I do that but I cross my legs more often, which I am doing now.

I usually cross my legs and I also think that it is out of habit =) i guess it is good way if you are wearing a dress or a skirt atleast =)

hahaha I am just crossing my legs while I am reading your discussion :) So, yes it seems it is my habit.

While I was answering this discussion I was sitting cross legs lol!! I feel more light and at ease at this position while typing, specially when we are wearing shorts it really feels great lol!!!

the last 6 months I have been able to do that again, since I lost weight

same with me too, sometime i always do that when i'm taking an exam in the college, then i change to sitting on one of my foot. Sometime in the restaurant or KFC, MacDonald, i did that. Don't why, it just like happen automatically.
