What's the best way to avoid chronic pain and strain from sitting in a chair all the time?
GET RID OF IT!!
The tips in the video above will hopefully give you some ideas as to how to make your computer or work station environment more ACTIVE!
Lots of people are starting to use exercise balls chairs but if you choose the wrong size you could be doing more harm than good!
The video squares that away for you right off the bat!
The standing desk station is my favorite. I stand on a rocker board so I can keep my central nervous system engaged and my posture balanced. It's very difficult NOT to stand in good posture when you're balancing on a rocker board!
PLUS…you get to burn some extra calories in the process!
And as far as the exercise ball surfing at the end…well that's obviously advanced core training and I do NOT suggest you go and try that one just yet.
So let me know what you think about these tactics for reducing strain at your computer work station and let me know what helps YOU the most to avoid strain while you work!
Another question if I may…If you sit on an an exercise ball chair or use a standing desk workstation, has it helped you??
When it comes to finding a comfortable sitting posture, this sitting posture imagery will help you enjoy a strong and stable center without even having to "think" about it!
The power of your IMAGINATION to rewire your brain is everything!
Not only is developing a clear vivid picture in your mind crucial to creating what you want in life, it works the same way with creating the strain free postureand movement you need to continue to live an active and fulfilling life!
Of course the images you watched in the video merely scratch the surface as far as what's possible BUT…
What's MOST important here is the concept of "pushing away" from your support points just like an infant trying to verticalize.
These automatic perfect posture programs are inside you but, unfortunately, like I told one of my private clients yesterday, we get "viruses" that corrupt our inborn programs of perfect posture.
These "viruses" happen when your bodymind is infected with a mental, physical, or nutritional stress.
The new damaging "stress induced" programs infect the system and pretty soon your inborn programs of health, renewal, growth, and expansion become really hard to access.
You know the symptoms…don't you?
Communication suffers, things run slower, and sometimes the entire system crashes to force you to identify and eliminate the viruses.
It's the same thing with your bodymind.
You must identify and eliminate the stresses that are blocking your ability to naturally flow into your perfect posture pattern of growth, peace, renewal, and expansion!
Then, when you follow the imagery exercise in the video, you can access your original, beautiful, perfectly designed posture with greater ease and never feel drained again by a long day of sitting!
NEXT TIME IN PART 3: How to do posture training and burn calories while you're at your computer! (No joke!)

A few episodes back I got some good suggestions for future videos and today I respond to Maggie May who wanted to know the best way to lift and carry a child.
Young mothers (and fathers, and grandparents) should ALL watch this video so if you know anyone who's regularly lifting a child (or anything else for that matter) everyday…share this with them!!
Remember…"little hinges swing big doors"! And today's "little hinge" is a very important one for saving millions of backs and necks across the world!!
