Exercise and posture, sentence 3

Bodies like change more than perfection: slouching for a while does no harm, but sitting in any one position for hours does, so get up, stretch and move often.

Who acts: slouching · What happens: slouch, do, sit, get up, stretch, move · To what, where: harm, one position

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×2, R7-rel-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
