The zero and first conditional

First up, when you're bent over when you're slouched over when you've got bad posture,

You want to look taller, you want to look leaner.

You may have confidence, but if you're slouched over if you're making yourself small, you

don't look as confident as you could be if you stood up straight.

And, let's not forget your health, you should naturally stand erect.

When you start to bend over, this can lead to neck issues, it can even lead to severe

So, gents, to avoid these issues, in today's video, I'm laying out some quick tips and

tricks so that you can improve your posture fast.

First up, gents, let's talk about your work station.

If you're anything like me, you spend about six to ten hours a day at a particular work

Let's start things off by talking about your chair.

When it comes to chairs, fit is king as well.

You need to find something that is proportionally correct for your body size.

Some of you guys are 5'3”, other people are 6'3”.

You need different size chairs because you need to be sitting in that chair properly

and in order to be able to do that, the seat needs to be the proper height.

So, the first thing I would recommend is to get yourself a chair that's adjustable.

And, I'm not saying that you got to go out and spend $2,000 on some ergonomic chair,

although you may find, hey, I spend a lot of time at my desk, that is something I do

But, I think there's a wide variety of different chairs that can be adjusted on the height.

To me, that's the first thing that you've to get right.

Next up, you want to look at, okay, does it have some lumbar support?

What you want is something that's going to encourage you to sit up straight.

Over the years, I've tried a wide variety of different chairs.

I found that kneeling chairs can work, but usually only for a couple of hours.

My favorite right now are ball chairs, relatively inexpensive.

What I like about this is that they force you to kind of stand on your toes a bit, you've

got to be aware of how you're seated, and so it forces you to sit up straight.

Right now, they're all the rage, everyone is saying that sitting is the new smoking.

Me, I'm a little bit more on the fence, I'm going to wait five to ten years for

the research to prove it, but if it works for you, go for it.

What I would like to see though is give yourself options.

There are actually adjustable height desks, and I like that because, hey, if you start

off the day and you want to stand, but later on you want to be sitting, you kind of got

Now, let's talk about computer screen height.

What's this doing, all of a sudden their neck is in this downward position and they're

And, it makes sense because a lot of us work off laptops, laptops are on a desk that's

too low and all of a sudden, yeah, we're having to look down all the time.

An easy way to fix this is to get something to raise the laptop up and this could simply

be putting in on some books or having a separate screen that, again, you raise up.

Now, you don't have to have the screen the same height as your eyes, although that is

Another way around this is to put it back a bit farther and to tilt it up.

The point here is just to be aware of how long and how much you're having to bend

your neck to look at the screen and if there's an easy way to adjust the screen to take pressure

Now, guys, in addition to the physical adjustments we're talking about here for your work station,

you want to also adjust your work habits.

You simply take a timer set up for twenty minutes and you try to stay focused in on

Yeah, you're thinking about your posture, but it's going to slip.

But that twenty minutes is going to go off, you have gotten a lot done and, guess what?

Then you stand up, you take two-minute break.

This is a great routine because you stay ultra focused and you get to every twenty minutes

reset and start thinking about your posture again.

The next big culprit when it comes to bad posture, gentlemen, your phone.

One that you use because what you don't want to do is you don't want to be cradling

This is a very bad position for your neck especially if you leave it for five minutes

I understand, you're trying to multitask here, but you are putting your neck in a very

So, for this next tip, I know initially it's going to feel odd, it definitely takes practice.

But, guys, this is going to save a lot of wear and tear on your neck.

And that is when you're looking at something on your device, you want to be looking perpendicular

So, why not allow it down here even just for a little bit?

Because the issue is is the amount of pressure that you put on your neck is not equal as

The further degrees you had down with this, it puts a lot more pressure.

It all of a sudden starts to multiply and you can do a lot of damage long term if you

And I see people doing this all the time walking around just sitting staring down at the phone
