'Helping sick and tired people reach their peak'

ATTITUDE:

"The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind"


Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
HERE AT JAMIE LLOYD PERSONAL TRAINING EVERY MONTH YOU CAN FIND SOMETHING NEW

THIS MONTH I HAVE CREATED A PROGRAM FOR THE OFFICE EMPLOYEE WHO SPENDS MOST OF THE DAY SEATED AT THE DESK...

Here are a few tips that will help you to survive during an average workday.

Sit in proper posture:

Slumping in your chair may feel better at times, but in the long term, your body will pay for it. This position puts a lot of strain on your spine, causing more pressure on the disks between the vertebrae; thus, possibly leading to an injury. Sitting in poor posture will also increase the risk of low back pain and muscle stiffness.
Adjust your computer: Be sure that you are not straining your neck trying to look down, or up at your computer. The monitor should be visible by looking straight ahead.

Switch ears:

If you are consistently using the telephone on the same side, be sure to switch. Most people rest the phone on their shoulder, causing the shoulder and neck muscles to tense. Failure to switch sides will cause muscle imbalances, and will possibly lead to headaches and neck and shoulder stiffness. Ultimately, a headset (hand-free phone) should be used to help alleviate such complications.
Remodel the work area: Periodically, be sure to change your work area, especially commonly reached for items. This will prevent your body from developing muscle imbalances due to repetitive stress.

Prevent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:

Throughout the day, frequently stretch your fingers (spread them apart and flex and extend them) and stretch your wrists (flex and extend them, and move them in circular motions) to prevent chronic strain. Also, having a proper set up at your desk will help in the prevention of this syndrome. 1. Align your wrists, so that your fingers are in line with your forearm. 2. Make sure that your keyboard is not tilted up in the back; it is better to have it tilting down. 3. Try and type lightly.
Take Mini –Breaks: Sitting in the same position all day long will cause lack of circulation throughout your body. This can lead to tingling in your fingers and toes as well as swelling in your feet. Taking small intermittent breaks throughout the day will help regain the circulation. Also, when sitting for a long period of time, your spine remains in a state of compression. Therefore, small breaks will help to decompress your spine, which will help reduce the change of back pain. Lastly, relieving yourself from work, even for a short period of time will help decrease mental stress. Taking a small break can be taking a walk to the restroom or coffee machine, walking up a flight of stairs, stretching, or simply- move your body.
