Have you tried standing desks? I have one (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q3TGL7M/), and that helps break up the routine as well. It gives me a chance to at least feel like I’m stretching
I have, and for a while it was great, but eventually I became strained and faded out of its use pretty much all together.
I don’t use the exercise ball much lately either but that was one that took me by surprise, the idea seemed so silly to me but it ended up being a very functional chair.
My chair story… I’ll keep it short I’m tall and need a drafting style chair/stool. I had a cheap though comfortable enough one for about 8 years then one day the 3/8" steel seat-to-back support just snapped right clean off! A very dangerous event! Then I hunted, searched, read reviews for a perfect replacement. Got it delivered and within 30 minutes of sitting, doing my work… the word PAIN is just too polite a way of saying what I felt! I tied to find a fix, like a lumbar support, though my wife urged me to look for a better one, possibly used, online. Wouldn’t you know it, on kijiji, only listed that morning, was my baby! I got it for a quarter of the price for new, surprisingly the chair I got still had the original tags on it! They said it was barely used because it was too high for most people to use! Perfect for me It’s a Herman Miller Aeron Tall Drafting chair. These chairs can be adjusted within mm, and the mesh, everything, is total comfort! I can’t praise this chair enough (it does come in a number of other sizes). I can comfortably sit for hours and hours… probably too long… thankfully I get in a workout most days to compensate
Inspired by this thread, I finally got off my butt (literally and figuratively) and ended up buying this new chair. I’m pretty happy with it so far! Seems to offer some low back relief somehow. And as a bonus, is seems to be named after that thing Ken and Ryu throw
During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we all want our homes to be clean and hygienic enough. In this context, I can’t even think to live without my vacuum cleaner which helped me a lot throughout the whole pandemic.
I honestly believe kettlebells are the most all round efficient strength/ endurance/ fitness device for compact spaces. Not for travel though, a 24 or 32kg kb is another bag on a flight. TRX suspension straps are good but annoying to set up and sometimes you cant get a good anchor point…
