  1. S3 E4 Stay Fit While You Sit: Ergonomic Tips with Mike Jones WFHForever.com 30:57

On the latest episode of the Work From Home Forever podcast, host Don interviews Mike Jones, a health coach, ergonomist, and author of “Stand Up! Upgrade Your Posture and Transform Your Life.” Mike has been helping remote workers live and work pain-free for over 15 years. He operates a posture-based practice in Bangkok, Thailand, and works with clients both in-person and online.

Mike discusses the importance of an ergonomic home office setup, emphasizing the use of tools like posture cushions to promote active sitting and prevent stiffness. He also recommends keeping a Yoga mat nearby to encourage regular stretching and mobility exercises. These practices help maintain good posture and prevent pain associated with long hours of sitting.

Mike shares his journey from solely remote work to a hybrid practice, driven by his desire for face-to-face interaction and the ability to help more people worldwide. He highlights the challenges of balancing a global client base and the importance of setting clear boundaries to avoid Burnout.

To prevent burnout, Mike advises taking regular posture breaks, standing up, and moving around every hour. He also stresses the importance of recognizing signs of fatigue and taking time to re-energize. His book aims to educate desk workers on how to reverse poor posture and improve their quality of life through simple exercises and stretches.

Mike’s clients, especially those in tech, often see significant improvements in their posture and overall well-being through his programs. He underscores the importance of reducing screen time and being mindful of one’s physical and Mental Health to achieve a pain-free, healthier Lifestyle.
