When sitting, aim for 90 degrees at your hips, knees, and elbows.
Most desk discomfort (neck strain, lower back tightness) comes from small setup issues that compound over hours, not from sitting itself.
Quick fixes if you're off:
- Feet flat on floor or a footrest (not dangling or crossed)
- Monitor top at eye level (stack books under a laptop if needed)
- Elbows close to your body, not reaching forward for the keyboard
- Lower back supported — a rolled towel works if your chair lacks support
Your challenge this week: Check your setup against the 90-90-90 rule today and adjust one thing that's off.
