The problem with this argument is that your chair actually has an impact on your health. Humans were not designed to sit in the same position for dozens of hours on end every day of every week.
I'm now doing physical therapy because my back is so weak that my innards are literally applying serious pressure to my lungs. What I initially thought was asthma (in my nightmares it was emphysema) turned out to be poor posture.
I'd just ask that you consider that.
- bk 18y agoI agree, but the best chair is still at least an order of magnitude worse than some good old-fashioned exercise, esp. of stabilizers, and good postural habits. Btw - good luck with your physical therapy. It usually works wonders!
- tptacek 18y agoSitting for long periods in anything has an impact on your health.
- cdr 18y agoHow disingenuous - not everything is going to have the same impact.
- kylec 18y agoI sometimes like to stand when coding, especially when I'm running back and forth between the whiteboard. I think everyone should give it a try if they can - it's not as tiring as you'd think and it does wonders for posture.
- jawngee 18y agoI've been doing that as well and it's a huge boon to productivity.
