Yoga. Forward and backward bending postures.
Of course, not by reading a book, or watching a video. But, with the guidance of a guru. Sadly, may be difficult to find a good yoga guru near your place, who doesn't charge (exorbitantly?).
My guru in Bangalore taught for free. For about forty years (1968 onward). Not much publicity. Fortunate indeed to come across such a guru.
- Six months of basic yoga (posture and breathing - asana and pranayama).
- Six more months of simple meditation.
- Six further months on a little more advanced meditation.
I've attended the basic course about three to four times in my life - starting from 1981 (free, isn't it). And the advanced courses twice.
No back problems till now, in spite of a sitting job, maybe a similar (or worse) kind of a chair like yours.

I have some friends who practice yoga.
I could ask for some advice... Not sure if there's any teachers around here.

Women. Don't forget women. They all want to be the one that leaves you standing on a railway platform in Paris with a silly expression on your face because you can't understand why your guts just got ripped out.....play it....you played it for her, you can play it for me....and when you finally acknowledge their veil dance, they report you to personnel.
Steer clear.

Don't worry. It gets worse, faster, as you get older.

One placed I worked I started with a chair with no arms. The other people I worked theirs chairs were duct taped on.
4 months in I found a chair someone left. I snatched it up. Everyone else was jealous.
This placed would not allow me to bring in my own chair because it would offend other people with bad chairs.
2000 Hours a year * 30 years = 60000 hours in a chair, get a good one and be happy.

I replaced my office chair with my favorite one from home.
When I go to the office supply stores for chairs, I sit at least 15 - 20 minutes in each. Just because it was comfortable when you first sit down, does not mean it will be comfortable 2 hours later.
And of course, Samsonite stopped making the most comfortable office chair I have ever found.

I was a contractor, data contractor so all I did was walk and go up and down a ladder for days and weeks.
I weighed 180 lbs.
Then I took up programming in 2003
to avoid injuries, and not wear out my body.
2007
First was the carpel tunnel in the hands. So I took up wood working, and built a new ergonomic desk with ergonomic keyboard, mouse, everything measured at the correct height. After about 6 months, the carpel tunnel went away from the wood working, never had it since. Took up bowling as well as something else to do, and gained 64 lbs. in 4 years since 2003
2009
I stated walking and running 2 or 3 miles a day 5 days a week. Lost 34 lbs.
2011
I started getting knee injuries, the left or right knee would swell up and take me out for 3 weeks at a time.
I thought it was the running or the bowling, plus I stopped eating fast food. Lost 10lbs.
2013
Was stilling getting the knee injuries 2 times a year, always in March and July.
Broke my left foot in several places, stopped eating Subway and Togos, lost 24 lbs. in 3 weeks because I could not walk to get food.
Now I prepare food at home, and brown bag it to work. Drop to 180 lbs.
2015
Finally figured it out, with the help of a sports medicine therapist and a doctor at the bowling center.
Current weight is 174, almost my drivers license weight og 165 lbs..
The phrase, always in motion stay in motion, stay at rest always at rest.
Yes that does apply, but ....
What I learned
I was pulling the ham string muscle, tearing quite bad in up to 3 places, the knee swelling was just the body saying whoa ..
When the body is at rest, the muscles contract in length and size. So you have to stretch them out again. When the body is in motion, the muscles are constantly being stretched and those little micro tears occur to thicken up the muscle.
You have to stretch daily, and stretch before physical activity and even more important, after physical activity.
So yes the bowling and the running, running downhill which is more dangerous, was tearing the leg muscles real bad.
So now I have a stretching routine, Stretch at lunch, and before and after activities.
I took up coaching for bowling to get me out of the chair, and limit programming time to no more than 6 hours a day.
Plus I started taking calcium pills to supplement the my diet, because bone and muscles are made of calcium and I don't drink milk and eat enough cheese, and yes I don't really like kale.
I'm 51, and all of my contractor friends that went office are going through the same issues, now we think we have it solved.

If he doesn't hit it exactly, does he have to start again from zero?

I'm not into that kind of behaviour.

Were you so excited to type in your pun on a pun that the second 'is' was spontaneously generated or is it more subtle than I realise?
|
|

Nope. Don't do subtle.
