Understanding Ergonomics and Wellness
Your home office ecosystem encompasses everything you need to tackle your day. Take care of your most important essential—your body—with an ergonomic fit.
- Keep your body in a neutral posture with your elbows close to your core, shoulders open and chin level with the floor.
- Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at eye level, and the monitor is about an arm’s length away.
- Follow the Sit-Stand Switch™ and alternate every 30 minutes between sitting and standing to improve your circulation, calorie-burn and insulin management.
- And don’t forget about rest time. Take regular breaks to relax your eyes, wrists and body.
