standing up!

I have a lot of back problems like many people out there.
Some days are better and some are worse.

I spend most of my day sitting down:
I go to school I sit down in the tram
I am at school I sit down to write things down
I eat while sitting down
I come home and sit in front of my laptop

And today I stumbled across a very interesting interview (watch part 1 in german here) (and part 2 here)to a physiotherapist, and the man gave this important advice:

leave your chair alone when you get home - a chair is our worst enemy
that is not how we were meant to sit - it is everything but natural
sit on the floor on a soft mat to read, listen to music, watch tv, talking with your partner etc.
the first 2 weeks are tough but then you will see this will do wonders for you =)

also try to change your routine, do things differently
do not repeat everything in your life the exact same way... start in the simple things
but do it today!
