Working on a computer for long periods of time can challenge your health. I have discussed spine, joint, and cardiovascular health.

The solutions offered will only be effective if you implement them and consistently do them. The best way to do this is to put yourself on a timer that signals you when to interrupt your computer work for your health measures.

The human body was designed for motion. It is essential that you compensate for this design requirement when you are working for long hours on your computer.

After all, the healthier you maintain your body the more productive you will be with your on-line business. With all the hard work you have put into building your business wouldn't you want to enjoy it?

Great information, we need to be in motion. This is why I try not to use a desktop. My laptop makes me move and I can use it standing.

Thank you these very essential tips. A great outline of what we all need to do. As I read the article, I did some of these stretches. Although, if I did all the stretches at the times suggested, I may spend a quarter of my hour doing stretches. :))
Did you time how long they all take if we did them every 20 minutes for some and every 30 minutes for others?
Excellent reminders, though. Thank you.

Great question Duncan...so I timed them. There is a learning curve but once learned you can do everything in a 5-7 minute sequence (separate from the walking of course).

Great comments...you are the best:)
