Driving
Adjust your seat to be close enough to the steering wheel in order to have your back feel like it is at its natural position. Also, if you have your planning a lengthy road trip, remember to take frequent breaks and stretch your legs. Not only do you legs and back get a nice breather, but you can get your circulation going once more!
Standing
Posture is very important. If your job requires you be on your feet for long periods of time, remember to buy the right shoe for it. Custom Orthotics are available and often fit into your everyday shoes as they are molded to your foot!
Sitting
Going back to the posture idea, remember to adjust your computer at your workstation to a comfortable position. Avoid slouching and as it was recommended with driving, get up and take a quick walk to stretch your back.
Lifting
