From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor
It should be physically impossible, but I am typing this newsletter with my chin resting on my knees. I'm not a doctor, but I think this might explain my persistent neck pain.

Check Your Posture
Good posture is about alignment and core strength, rather than being rigidly straight.

How to Sit With Good Posture
I spend most of my day sitting, so I definitely need this article. Please note that nowhere in here does it advise you to hunch over your keyboard like a turtle with opposable thumbs. So I've been doing that wrong, apparently.

Exercises for Better Posture
If you want to improve your posture in the long-term, you're pretty much stuck with exercise. (I hate how that's the answer to everything.)
