Office Chairs

Why is a Good Quality Office Chair Important?

The Romans knew a thing or two about getting the best out of their troops, when they were covering long distances they would march for 50 minutes and rest for 10 minutes.  They understood if they didn’t allow their bodies time to recuperate exhaustion would soon result.

The principal is exactly the same in the office, those of us spending 8 to 10 hours everyday working in an office chair have to take regular breaks otherwise you just seize up or become wracked with pain from sitting in the same position for too long.

Variation and movement is vital for healthy office working.  Keep a close check on how long you have been sitting working on the same task and ideally every 30 minutes or so, certainly every hour take a quick break.

Stand up maybe perform some simple exercises to get blood circulating through those seized muscles again.

We weren’t made to sit in a fixed position for long periods so it really is essential to vary your posture regularly if you are going to keep your body fit, healthy and comfortable.
