Poor posture may contribute to illness such as
back ache, poor circulation, poor digestion and more.
|
|
With prolonged use of display screen
equipment maintaining good posture at all times may prove difficult.
|
|
To help combat the effects of poor posture physical exercising should be carried out throughout the day whilst
seated.
|
|
Here are a few exercises to get you
started.
|
|
Breath in through nostrils so the chest
expands. Hold and release (do this 5 times).
|
|
Feet flat on the floor push down on toes
and so heel of foot raises in air (hold for 10 seconds).
|
|
Put legs out in front of you so thigh
and calf muscles are straight. Toes may touch the modesty panel at the
back of the desk (hold for 5 seconds).
|
|
Press the palms of your hands together.
Raise your elbows so at 90-degrees to your chest (hold for 10
seconds).
|
|
Arch back and tilt head backwards. Hold
for 5 seconds and forward until chin rests on chest (hold for 5
seconds).
|
|
Sitting upright on chair move feet up
and down as if you are walking on the spot (do this for 30 seconds).
|
|
Repeat the above routine as often as required.
|
|
Feel free to adapt any of these exercises or
introduce your own exercises to the routine.
