Agree with Chris and others Aug 5

Basically, "your best position is your next one" sort of approach it is probably most sensible.

I myself stand up to work all the time, but I move around quite a lot even while (nominally) remaining in one place. My back seems fine. I take breaks every thirty minutes.

Correct posture when working at the computer. Aug 11

I use ergonomic chairs and desks and keep the brightness of the PC at up to 70%.

I don't think my posture is great, and I spend far too long at my computer, but my back seems to be OK so far.

I do walk for 1-2 hours a day (and dance as a hobby) and I think that's probably the only reason my body is not completely wrecked.

I also try not to overwork, maintain a good work/life balance and eat a healthy diet.



Snap! except I do yoga and swimming and cycling rather than dance.
