Sitting at one place endlessly

If you are that person who sits at one place for hours together mostly staring at a computer then your back is not a happy camper.

The problem with sitting at one place is that as your body and mind get tired  forcing your back to form a curve. It is natural for a back to do that. It is trying to get in a position where it does not have to spend a lot of energy trying to support your body. Your back has a natural shape which helps you walk, run and have fun in bed. But if you put such pressures on it for long periods of time it will start complaining.

Here are a few things you can do to take care of your back while at work:

1. Exercise: I love this exercise. It helps me avoid the back pain. 
1. Sit up straight on your chair with your legs forming a 90 degree angle with the ground. Sit at the edge of your chair.
2. Slide your right leg ahead so that the toe faces the ceiling. 
3. Now, keeping your back straight, lean forward. Notice that you feel pressure on your right leg. 
4. Lean for only about 10-15 degrees and hold for 10 secs.
5. Repeat the same for your other leg. 
6. Do this exercise 5 times for each leg.
2. Walk: Take breaks every 45 mins and walk around a bit. A good thing to do is have a glass of water in these breaks.
3. Stretch: Do a good ol' fashion stretch at your desk.

These simple things help me and I am sure they will help you during your hard working days too.
