Someone you know sits at a desk all day and complains of a stiff back and low energy. What would you suggest they try?

A natural way to answer

I'd suggest they break up the day with short walks and check how their chair and screen are set up. Bad posture creeps in without you noticing. A little movement every hour really helps you stay limber.

Key phrases to use
