So they say that sitting too much shortens your life and all that. They also say that most of us sit incorrectly. I know I do. I constantly slide my butt forward and slouch. And I was thinking, what I need is a seat belt to keep me from sliding forward. But such a thing doesn’t seem to exist. There must be some problem with them that I am missing. Since Lemmy has lots of desk jockeys, I figured I would ask here.
You would use your stabilizing core muscles even less if you were belted in, I would think. I’ve found core strengthening exercises to be the best thing for my desk posture. Also, sitting on a yoga ball pretty much forces good posture. I used to play video games while sitting on one
Yeah, possibly on the core muscles stuff. But the shoulder and neck pain is getting really bad. In theory I would be able to loosen the belt a bit so that it isn’t holding me up, just “reminding” me to keep my butt back in the chair where it belongs. I have tried yoga balls and a variety of chairs that are supposed to “force” you to sit up right. I always managed to end up in an even worse posture whenever I got deeply into the code.
This indicates that something is wrong with your posture in general.
Find a specialist (maybe chiropractor or osteopathic) who can help you to fix that.
Been going for years. I have exercises I do… but they say it could take more than a year for the soft tissue to correct itself this way.
I feel you. Sometimes I think I can’t properly debug unless I’m leaning into the monitor
