6 ways to improve posture at your desk

The best choice to make when sitting at your desk is to purchase a chair to support your body. It's easy to pick up a $10 chair from your local store and call it a day, but this simply won't do. We rounded up numerous "gaming" chairs like the excellent GT Omega Racing Pro that happen to be seriously comfortable with all the support you'd need.

To avoid posture-related health issues, you need to have your feet placed firmly on the ground or a raised surface and not to cross your legs. If you have an uneven or hard floor, there are some great floor mats for office use you can choose from.

Providing adequate support for your back is another important step to a more comfortable and pleasant computing experience. Some office chairs and a fair number of gaming chairs come with lumbar supports in the box, but if your seat doesn't have one, you can pick up an aftermarket memory foam lumbar support.

The best position for your monitor setup is to have your panels eye-level. Most displays have swivel, tilt and rotation support and are easy to get the surface of the display pointed in the correct direction, but mounts like this AmazonBasics monitor arm allow for further adjustments to be made. Aim to position the middle of the display at the same level as your eyes.

Keyboard placement is more important than you might assume. It's recommended you keep the keyboard between 4 to 6 inches in front of you with your arms bent and wrist at your side. If you're looking for a new mechanical keyboard, the HAVIT HV-KB390L offers stunning value with excellent switches for typing and gaming.

You should never sit in the same position for too long. It's important to get up and move around every so often to stretch your legs. Even working in some exercising between breaks is a great way to get physical without leaving the house (or even the office). A Fitbit wearable will remind you to move when sat down for too long.
