4 ways to sit at the computer

The article is, as I understand it, a bit of an advertising character, but still decided to translate it. Painfully interesting ways ...

The reality of modern work with information is that we spend a huge amount of time sitting at a computer. Considering that we spend half of our lives at the computer, why not do the best on the bottom of it. The problem of poor posture eventually leads to health problems.

If you do not want to have problems with your back, hips or any other parts of the body, then be sure to read these four ways to sit at the computer.

1. Fitness ball. It seems to be very popular with the guys from Google . When you sit on these balls, you have to keep your back straight so as not to slide. Plus, you are physically active during the day, because you need to balance a little so as not to fall. Another feature that I like is stretching while you are sitting at the computer. Fitness ball will help you with this. The main thing - pick the right fitness ball for you. Here you can choose the one that suits you: the size of the ball depends on your height.
2. Kneeling chair. I have such a chair in the office. He helps keep your back straight and very comfortable to sit on. Of course, you can slouch, but if you sit on a chair correctly, you may not be able to do it often. If you like this option, you can familiarize yourself with these types of chairs here . Your knees will thank you for it.
3. Lotus pose I have experimented a little with this method, but I would like to try in the future, because sitting in the lotus position is good for our hips. The main problem is how to build something like a platform to sit at your desk. Or change the table to a lower one to sit on the floor. I think this is a great way to sit at a computer, especially when you work at home. But perhaps not a suitable option for the office.
4. Treadmill. It is, of course, not quite sitting, but I stumbled upon a rather A great article on this topic: "Walking while you work . " I think this is very interesting. This is a great solution for people who are overweight. Half an hour-hour walk every day, while working, will help to recover. I noticed that one of my favorite bloggers recently talked about this. Imagine if corporations create fitness rooms with treadmills in which employees can install their laptops to continue working.

In my opinion, great ideas that will help you maintain your health!
