Get Your Setup Right
A good ergonomic setup is crucial for keeping your body happy. Ensure your workstation is promoting good posture.
Blood flow, stamina, and natural drive all start dropping — quietly.
And once it starts, it usually keeps getting worse unless you fix it.
Checklist for an Ergonomic Desk Setup:
- Monitor at eye level
- Chair with lumbar support
- Feet flat on the ground
- Keyboard at elbow height
