| 1 | Feet flat on the floor |
Place both feet flat on the floor so that your legs are maximally supported.
| 2 | Elbows at 90 degrees |
For a relaxed posture, the angle between the upper and lower arm should be at least 90 degrees.
| 3 | Arms close to the body |
The shoulders, in particular, are more relaxed when the arms are kept close to the body.
| 4 | Let your shoulders hang |
Let your shoulders hang relaxed. It helps if you don't lean too much on your armrests or desk.
| 5 | Give your arms freedom |
Give your arms freedom of movement when mousing and typing and prevent strain in the wrists.
| 6 | Elbows just above the table |
Adjust your desk so that your elbows are slightly higher than your desk/table for maximum freedom of movement.
| 7 | Legs and body at a 90-degree angle |
Relieve pressure on your back with a nice open sitting posture. Maintain at least 90 degrees; a little more is also fine.
| 8 | Top of monitor at eye level |
With your monitor at the correct height, you can keep your head nicely aligned with your back.
| 9 | Place your monitor one arm's length away |
Approximately one arm's length is sufficient to give your eyes enough rest and still be able to read everything.
| 10 | Place mouse and keyboard close by |
A compact, relaxed working posture that particularly benefits your shoulders and arms.
| Bonus | Been sitting or standing for 60 minutes? Break! |
Staying in a static posture for too long is not good for anyone. Take 1 or 2 minutes for a coffee round or a toilet break.
