What to do if you are trapped in a “sitting” lifestyle
• Sit up straight, with neutral pelvis position.
• Keep your shoulders back and in the position mentioned
above.
• Don’t crane your neck forward.
• Have your keyboard close to you and your elbows and arms at
your side, at a 90 degree angle.
• Keep screen eye level.
• While maintaining a stable core you can alternate in bringing
each foot up to the opposite knee to stretch out your hip
flexors.
• Stand up and move as often as possible. At least every ½ hour
Who would have thought that sitting could have such a massive
negative impact on our health? Now that you are equipped with
the knowledge, do something about it, choose to move. If all else
fails, put sticky notes up at your desk and at home and
everywhere else you find yourself sitting all day. Write the letters
GOYA on it. This will remind you to Get Off Your Ass! It literally
can lengthen, if not save your life.
