An often overlooked aspect of quarantine life is proper posture. Filipinos who work and study at home often sit for long hours at a time and, with the added comfort of being at home, start to have bad body form. 

The good news though is that one can improve posture with a few simple exercises, according to the Harvard Medical School. 

Balance-specific workouts, which involves loosening up inflexible muscles and improving core muscle strength, bring about noticeable posture changes in just a few weeks. 

It pays to have proper posture since it improves physical balance. A well-maintained sense of balance strengthens one’s abilities in sports and other activities, and in avoiding simple injuries. 

Proper sitting posture must include all of the following:

• Chin should be parallel to the floor 
• Shoulders, hips, and knees should be even heights 
• Feet should be pointing straight ahead. 

Good sitting posture leads to better focus and productivity for the Filipinos in quarantine.
