Posture at Your Computer-Made SIMPLE!

How many hours do you sit at your computer all day?  At home? At work?  Probably too many!




American adults spend an average of more than eight hours each day in front of screens, including televisions, computer monitors, cell phones and others, according to the Video Consumer Mapping study.
The study, conducted by Ball State University's Center for Media Design (CMD) and Sequent Partners for the Nielsen-funded Council for Research Excellence (CRE), sheds some light on just how much time Americans spend not only sitting, but sitting and staring at screens.
Broken down, here’s a look at what the study found:
  • The screen that gets the most viewing time is the television, at more than five hours a day for the average American
  • People between the ages of 45 and 54 spent the most time in front of screens -- over 9.5 hours a day
  • Adults spend an average 142 minutes a day in front of computer screens
  • Adults spend an average 20 minutes a day engaged with mobile device
I came across this VERY simple video that gives you easy ways to protect your structure while you are attentive to your screen!
