Good posture.Most of us spend significant amounts of time sitting at a desk. And while you may have an ergonomic chair or desk or whatever, your posture can still be sloppy. And you wouldn’t want to experience the “benefits” of a sloppy posture. Some of those are a stiff neck, hunched shoulders, weak back muscles and restricted breathing. Not good for you.

It is said that strength training and stretching are important for a good posture. And they are. But how do you know what a good posture is? How does a good posture feel? How to actively correct the sloppy posture after being used to it for so long?

To achieve a healthy posture, lift both thumbs up towards your shoulders (in the old ‘Fonzie’ pose), then move them towards your body. You will instantly feel the difference in the set of your shoulders, and in your lower back.

    It’s all about ergonomic furniture. It seriously aligns your spine. I sit in a Leap chair I got from officedesigns.com. They are fantastic. I only order my stuff online now.

    Wow, I think I remember seeing that picture during our ergonomics presentation seminar last week. Apparently, good posture increases your production rate by removing any unnecessary movements and efforts made by the body, reducing stress, as well as promoting good health!
