How to stay active while working from home In this pandemic, many Indian companies have given the option of Work from home to its employees. Work from home or WFH gives many benefits like No commute, working in pajamas/ shorts, slippers, and access to snacks at any time of the day. Negatives include little to no break, cabin fever, lack of sports, and lots of sitting. Question yourself: are you comfortable? If yes, don’t change your posture. Sitting straight will not eliminate the pain but the only movement can. We are not challenging the theories of good posture. We are trying to focus on the combination of comfortable posture and movement especially at the time of lockdown during the pandemic. Instead of setting up your desk in the perfect position while working from home, that you have everything at a 90-degree angle, focus on moving. You may find different postures that are more comfortable than others, but that will not last long. But finding a variety of positions in your day can help significantly dealing with pain, energy, concentration, and overall satisfaction with your work from home. Simple to follow – 1. Take breaks from work – Stand up and move around after every 45 min 2. Change your work position – sitting on the chair to sofa to bed or standing while reading or walking during a conference call or video conferencing 3. Maintain a regular exercise routine 4. Get enough sleep. Avoid screens and caffeine at least 2 hours before sleep
