Move
People work with their computers in bed, at a desk, in their laps and whatever position they choose, they are likely to spend several hours in that position. Being seated for several hours is stressful. To counteract that stress you should get up, stand and move around at one hour intervals to provide and maintain good circulation, to get the muscles to change position and relieve tension with a good strectch.
Good Posture
The above is the suggested posture when working on the computer. It is also supported by experts in ergonomic studies.
Slouching will cause back pain and neck pains and will result in repetitive stress injuries. The correct thing to do is to sit right and move periodically.
It is also recommended that people who sit to work should take on at least 30 minutes moderate walking each day.
