5 Ways To Improve Posture And Mobility While Working From Home

Working from home definitely has its perks. Employees across the state are cutting down on commute times, saving money on gas (and morning coffees), and spending more time with the loved ones they are quarantined with. However, eliminating commutes, transitioning to a makeshift work-from-home setup, and sitting for longer periods of time can have serious impacts on activity levels, mobility, and posture. Couple this with gym closures and our bodies are being delivered a one-two punch resulting in physical ailments like neck stiffness, back pain, and other musculoskeletal conditions. 
 
  • Use the Right Set Up When Sitting for Long Periods of Time: If you’re using a desk or table, make sure your computer monitor is at eye level or just below and that your chair height is set so that when you bend your elbows to ninety degrees, your hands fall comfortably onto the keyboard. Be sure to sit straight against the backrest of your chair to support your lower back while ensuring that the front of the seat doesn’t press on your knees.
  • Find Ways to Keep Moving Throughout the Day: While working and social distancing, you may be sitting for longer periods of time than normal. Stand up, walk around, and stretch areas you feel tight every 20 minutes. This will promote general circulation and give your eyes a break from your screen.
  • Add Stretching and Strengthening Exercises to Your Daily Routine: Adding just a few minutes of stretching and strengthening to your day can help maintain musculoskeletal health while working remotely.  Perform total body workouts– I suggest focusing on exercises that work on your core, upper and lower extremities. Allow for proper recovery in between training sessions and complete a comprehensive stretching routine at the end of each workout
    • Counteract Shoulder Pain with Foam Rolling: After a long day of working on a laptop, use a foam roller to help stretch and mobilize three key areas: the muscles along the anterior chest wall, the latissimus dorsi (a.k.a. “lats”), and the thoracic spine.
    • Strengthen Your Core to Promote Good Posture: Maintaining good posture while working from home has everything to do with the strength of your core and proper body awareness. A healthy core will help you sit upright naturally and avoid pain or stiffness in your upper and low back. Core exercises you can do at home include planks, dead bug, bird-dog, and anti-rotation core exercises.

3 smart money moves that make to beat the State Pension How to Separate Home Life from Working-from-Home Life 1. Have a Separate Office Space Yes, sure, the most obvious thing I knew was to have a “dedicated office space” because that is what everyone says. Why this is important for me, is not to lessen home distractions, but to have a physical space in which I can then physically leave at the end of the day. Physically moving my body from “work” to “home – and then not co-using that space for anything else – helps create an energy flow that most people experience when they physically leave their in-office jobs at the end of the day. 2. But Find What Feels Good I initially assumed I had to separate all the things. Turns out, I don’t have to do anything. And in fact, separating work and home entirely does not work for me. At least, not every day. Some days, my energy vibration at work is high and positive and I kick so...

With the shift of marketing techniques from traditional to digital, the process of consumer decision making has also changed beyond recognition.
