Better posture when sitting with ergonomic footrests

Not feeling comfortable sitting every day at a desk? There is one ergonomic option that might be just what you need. Footrests!

A foot rest is a small under-table furtiture where you can place your feet to improve blood circulation, your posture and support your back. This is how it looks like:

To get the idea of what is out there, simply search for a “foot rest” online, e.g. on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=foot+rest or see what is recommended elsewhere. They start around $20 - which is obviously less than what your health is worth.

In good companies the foot rest could be provided for you by the employer. For example, while I was working at Red Hat I could borrow one without any problem.

Until next time,
