More Train Thoughts

The ideal posture for reading would have your head in an upright position with your eyes aimed straight ahead. Our society has so many situations that almost encourage poor posture, getting into that hunched over look. Over time this is going to cause some musculoskeletal problems. Changing the length-tension relationships of a lot of muscles to a point where they become inefficient should not be ignored. Low back pain - a multi billion dollar problem annually - can be correlated to these poor postures (in theory - no links to any evidence as I'm phone blogging again). Speaking of phone blogging, I'm about to go underground and lose this post, so the message here is SIT UP STRAIGHT!!!
