Mad for a bigger booty? Well, your CAREER is ruining your bum goals

If you squat like a good thing, but have yet to see any change to your tush, you may have your working environment to blame.

According to emerging reports, you can squat until you're blue in the face (literally), but you'll undo all your good work if you spend most of your working day sitting on your bum.

For those of you who spend the majority of the day at a desk, you're unfortunately leaving yourself susceptible to the curse of the pancake-arse, also known as 'office-ass'.

Speaking to the New York Post, physical therapist, Abby Bales, advises office workers to stretch their legs for five minutes every hour in order to avoid that 'extra-long back' look.

Reminding the public that, despite popular opinion, sitting on your arse won't make for a bigger booty, Abby said: "The more you sit, the more you have the chance of developing a flatter booty."

"So, the first line of defence is to stand up more," she advised.

More regular tea breaks, it is.
