Exercise When Using Laptop

Laptop helps us a lot in our daily life because it is simple and practical. Whether you use it to browse internet at home, or carry it along with you to the office or while meeting clients. Anywhere it is, working with laptops for a long time can trigger stiff neck, pain at shoulders and even headache.

But don't you worry! Do these easy exercises when you work in front of your laptop, and all the pains will stay away.

Laptop makes you bend down your head and curl your shoulders. With 4 kgs weigh of your head, your neck and shoulder muscles will suffer from your habit in front of your laptop.

Do this before you're injured :

If your laptop is on the desk, adjust the screen position to be paralel with your eyes.
Adjust the keyboard so that your elbows stay close to your body.
Do a stretching every an hour.
If you place the laptop nit on the desk, do stretching every 15 minutes. 1-2 minutes each.

Keyboard position often makes your fingers feel uncomfortable while typing. When it happens days by days, you will get Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI).

Do this before you're injured :

Join your palms in front of your chest and bend your elbows.
Push each palm against each other until you feel the back side of your lower arm stretched.
Then join the back of your palms.
Push each other till you feel the stretch on your wrist.
Now raise and straight one of your arms to your front.
Pull the fingers with the other arm.
Stretch your fingers slowly.
Do the same with your other arm.

The bending position of your upper body when working in front of laptop can press your backbone and nerves. And in the end can cause neck pain.

Do this before you're injured :

When you are working with your laptop, always keep your back straight, shoulders wide opened, and don't forget to stretch your head once a while.

If you have more time, try to do yoga or pilates for better body posture and avoid back pain.
