The American Heart Association and the American College of Sports Medicine recommend adults do a moderately intense exercise for at least 30 minutes, five days a week.

With many people working from home, we want to make sure you're not forgetting posture when setting up your home offices!

BASIC DESK ERGONOMICS- is your desk set up properly?
1. Screen tilted back slightly (if possible) so head can remain upright with the eyes angled down to the screen.
2. Monitor should be below eye level so you can gaze at the screen at a slight down view.
2. Pelvis is slightly higher than knees. You can see that the figure has a little downward slope in the seat pan of their chair.
3. Elbows at sides, contacting the rib cage. A common mistake that we see is the elbows out in front of the body.
4. Wrists not higher than elbows. Knuckles not higher than wrists.

Ever wondered if the amount of time you spend watching TV each day has an effect on your physical function? The American College of Sports Medicine recently featured a study stating that increased sedentary activity might have a negative affect on simple physical activity, such as walking speed.
