Finally gave up on those expensive ergonomic chairs after 3 years
I spent $850 on a herman miller knockoff thinking it would fix my back pain. Then last month my buddy let me try his $40 yoga ball from Target during a zoom call and I felt zero pain after 4 hours. Swapped the chair out for the ball and a cheap standing mat, been using it for 3 weeks now. Anybody else have a setup that looks ridiculous but actually works?

My roommate walked in on me bouncing on a giant green ball during a work call and just slowly backed out of the room without saying anything. Looked like a complete maniac but honestly my back has never been happier. That cheap ball plus a towel rolled up behind me has saved my spine more than any expensive chair ever did. The standing mat was a game changer too, got one for like 15 bucks at Ross and it makes standing for meetings actually tolerable. Pretty sure my posture has improved from looking like a question mark to only a slight lowercase h. Definitely worth looking ridiculous if it means not waking up with my lower back screaming at me.

@cora813 makes me wonder how many other little daily hacks we're all too embarrassed to admit we do...
