Computers have become an integral part of life. They are in most homes, and children begin to understand them almost from birth. Sometimes the time spent at the PC passes quickly enough. At the same time, it is important not to forget about your own health and monitor how you sit at the computer.
Slouching can be obtained in a variety of ways. Most often, the computer is able to "help" in this. In order for this not to happen, it is necessary to take the correct posture at work, as well as perform a set of exercises aimed at straightening the spine.
How to sit
First of all, you should not cross your legs. This position can lead to the formation of varicose veins and joint problems, as they are pinched. Place both feet on the floor. Nothing should bother them. The processor, speakers, or bedside tables should be pushed back to increase legroom.
The optimum chair height with backrest is equal to the waist height. In this case, the seat is at knee level. The table should be large. Try to free him from unnecessary things.
Slouching Exercises
The first action requires a straight cane. Stand up straight with your legs wider than your shoulders. The stick must be held by the shoulders, but not on them. It is not necessary to wrap your arms around it tightly. It is enough to fix the cane with your wrists. While looking forward, make quick movements, but not jerks. In this case, you only need to use the shoulder girdle. The legs and lower torso should remain stationary. Do 3 sets of 15 times in each direction, taking half a minute breaks.
Stay in the starting position. Hold the stick in outstretched arms above your head. Take a few deep breaths, then start moving your arms back and down. As soon as the moment of maximum tension comes, immediately return them back. After reaching the bottom, repeat the exercise. It should be performed 3-4 approaches 15 times each. It develops chest muscles and helps fight stoop.
For the next exercise, you will need a flat, vertical surface. A regular wall will do. Stand with your back to her so that your head, shoulder blades, buttocks and calves touch. This will keep the lower back concave. Next, stretch your arms along your torso, and begin to turn your palms outward. Fix them for a few seconds, reaching the highest tension, then return them to their original position.
Another effective exercise is the asterisk. To perform it, you need to lie on your back, connecting your legs together and spreading your arms in different directions. Then straighten all four limbs and shoulders. Hold them in front of you for 30 seconds, then take a break. You need to repeat at least eight times.
