- These are simple and only need a yoga mat and 10 minutes 3 times week. Even 1 session a week will kill a lot of back pain
- I will ignore situps here, because they're simple
- Get yoga mat.
- Lie _face down_, legs and arms outstretched
- Raise your _left_ arm and _right_ leg, so your body evens out
- Lower left arm / right leg
- Raise right arm, raise right leg
- Lower and repeat ~ 20 times
- Now switch to the situps and do 20 of one of the many varieties you can do.
- Alternate situps with prone swim, as the core muscles exhaust after 20 repititions. Keep both abs and back at same level to prevent hunching.
* Ergonomics *
- Get a foot rest
- Get an Aeron chair
- If you're right-handed get a left handed keyboard so that your hand does not have to travel over the numpad to reach the mouse. This extra travel distance can really hurt over time
