Sit in front of computer for most of the day??


If you're like most Americans you spend at least 5-7 hours in front of a computer monitor, whether it's for work or leisure.
Studies have shown extended periods of this activity can be detrimental to one's eyesight, lower back, and wrists, amongst other issues. This is pertinent especially if you're sitting like "Mr. I LOVE MY JOB", photoed above.


Now, to reduce the risk of injury let's look at the ideal ergonomics for computer monitor viewing. Take a look at "Simply Sue", her lower back is supported, her wrists straight, her feet are flat on the floor or on footrest, viewing angle is at least 18".

Look at your posture in front of your computer monitor.


What changes do you need to make???
