      There are basically only two muscles that keep you upright; stomach and back if you let one go the other has to compensate.

        ...Should not be taken lightly. My back has been hurting for over a week now. I replaced my chair last weekend and it seems to be getting better. This isn't the first time I've had job related back issues either. For all of those that think I must be an old geezer, I'm 27. Let this be a warning to all you young people out there who are just starting their job at the office (or a reminder for those who've worked there for a while)... Get a good chair and a well adjusted desk. Unlike your software your body doesn't have a backup!

        also, look at your vehicle that you ride in or on. A Walk is good but also just regular exercise. I play wackyball 3-4 times a week. (Racquetball) But pick something that doesn't feel like exercise to you.

          What I mean with the ride in or on. Is I had a vehicle that after the 20 minute drive to work. I could not walk. I thought it was my back. get a new to me used vehicle and suddenly back is fine. Turns out it was the seat in the car that just beat on me. Might have been the suspension, or the seat or something. I never did get it adjusted right.

              Yes, I've had my spine removed long ago since it was really just a bother anyway. Much easier to be spineless these days.

                Judging by the popularity of movies about snipers, being spineless is much more common, too.

                          After the first you just assume the position and wait for the reach around that never comes. :)

                                      also, look at your vehicle that you ride in or on. A Walk is good but also just regular exercise. I play wackyball 3-4 times a week. (Racquetball) But pick something that doesn't feel like exercise to you.

                                      To err is human to really mess up you need a computer
