Listen, we get it: When you’re sitting at a desk, eyes focused on the task in front of you, perhaps gazing at a computer, you lose track of things like your posture.
It’s only when you get done and are able to refocus that you might understand that you’ve not been tending your back as well as you should be and that you’re making a big impact on your physical well being. That’s because when you slouch you’re doing more than just making your back ache.
It’s possible that you’re impacting the strength of your chest as well as negatively impacting your blood pressure, among other things.
