Look at these pictures and video below first ...
....now look at yourself, how is your posture?
Did you change your posture while you were looking at the pictures and video? Hahaha, I did xD! After an hour I usually will have a different posture, usually a bad posture T__T. Bad computer postures can result in chronic pain in your neck, back, arms and/or legs. Here are 5 tips which helps to improve your computer posture:
1. Make sure that your desk and computer screen are at the correct height. You should be looking straight ahead at your screen and not down.
2. Do not slouch. Slouching leads to bad posture!
3. Keep your back straight. Sit in an upright, straight position. Your lower back should be supported by your chair or a pillow.
4. Stretch often. Stretching will help relieve the stress in your muscles and joints and will increase your flexibility and range of motion.
5. Take a break every thirty minutes. Get up and take a walk. Stretch and recharge your stiff muscles.
I hope this blogpost was informative. Beware of your posture all the time! Take a break every 30 minutes and walk around to stretch! Stay healthy everybody ^^.
My back's always remembering me that I need be careful with my posture...one of these days my back's gonna kill me! xD
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Spain.
omg the second pic is so me ! I've got this bad habit of laying down with my laptop on top of me.... I really need to stop doing that haha ~
ReplyDeletei am like the first picture. it is so hard to have a nice posture. i practice yoga and it is so obvious my body is lopsided. ;(
ReplyDeleteyeah... I'm guilty of this. I treat my office chair like a couch.. it's just so comfy! haha I've actually been having a lot of neck pain lately though, so I need to smarten up!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA, ik ging meteen goed zitten toen ik dat plaatje zag haha xd
ReplyDeletehahaha i'm the worst when it comes to posture. i was sitting in a very slouchy way before reading this post hahah
ReplyDeleteGreat post! This is totally an issue in today's generation. Slouching..
ReplyDeleteomg! Lol! I was slouching while I was reading this! XD
ReplyDeleteAhah, this applies to me so much! and just earlier today, my mom was getting on me about slouching in front of my computer. >.>;;
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this! I will try to sit straightly from now on :D
ReplyDeleteAls je veel computert met schouders die naar voren wijzen, veroorzaakt dit op den duur een verkorting van de borstspieren waardoor je ze moeilijker tot niet meer recht kunt zetten en ook kun je je arm niet meer zo ver omhoog zwaaien =) (ik ben 1ejaars fysiotherapie student) dus zeer aangeraden, een goede postuur. Al houd ik me er natuulijk ook niet altijd aan haha!
ReplyDeleteOh man I'm on the computer all day and I hate to admit it but first picture pretty much sums up how I sit when I'm at work. I'm actually worst! More leaned in and my face almost glued to the screen. lol. The second one is so funny because I caught myself like that a few super lazy weekend mornings! Totally grossed myself out lol. Great tips and it's true your posture is so important. My shoulders are so warped because of bad posture I should be doing physio.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA! That's definitely me! This post is fabulous girl!!! I couldn't stop laughing, because I know better. Thanks for sharing this. :D

hahahah xD I'm sure that everybody is sitting really WRONG while reading this post lol
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to do physio =.=" My neck was so stiff because of the bad posture behind the screen.. but i was just so lazy to go..
ReplyDeletehandig om te weten!!! Het is zeker belangrijk, erg veel mensen houden er niet aan (inclusief mezelf).. maar het is wel goed om jezelf er steeds eraan te herinneren als je achter de pc zit
ReplyDeleteI had neck pain a while ago because of it.. almost wanted to do physio
ReplyDeleteyoga is so good for your body.. I went to yoga classes for a year.. it really makes you relax and less stiff xD
