How to sit with good desk posture

For anyone who sits at a desk all day and wants a posture that stays comfortable through long work blocks.

Stack your joints in open angles so your bones carry the load and your muscles stay quiet.

You'll need a height-adjustable chair, a clear desk, and a way to lift your screen to eye level if it sits low.

1. 

   Step 01

   PARK the chair close enough that your stomach sits one fist from the desk edge.

   A fist of space lets you breathe without leaning. If you sit farther, scoot in; if you press the desk, ease back. You feel the chair settle when the gap matches your closed fist.

2. 

   Step 02

   SET seat height so both feet rest flat and knees bend at ninety degrees.

   Thighs run parallel to the floor. Lower the chair if heels rise; raise it if knees sit higher than hips. You see the full sole of each shoe on the floor when height is right.
