You’ll still be able to see your screen, and your weight is being held by a natural cushion that helps you maintain good posture. (Ideally, you’ll do this while actually exercising, not just sitting around with the ball under you!)\n\n-Every so often, stand up and gently twist side to side at the waist. This will stretch the torso and can help with back pain. If this feels good and is natural for you, you could try to make it a regular habit.\n\n-Do some stretches with your feet while you work at a desk. Just use the base of the desk or anything else available as a step for your feet. You can do calf stretches, ankle stretches, hip stretches, groin stretches, and back stretches with this. With this particular exercise, I recommend that you don’t do more than 10-15 minutes at a time, though you could do more to build stamina.", "role": "assistant" } ]
