• Do you lean over your computer?

• Do you bend over to pick things up off the floor or even bend forways to pull your socks up?

• Do you sit or stand with poor posture?

• Do you do sit-ups or crunches?

• Do you do step aerobics?

• Do you kick-box?

• Do you door floor exercises, moving legs sideways and twisting around?

• Do you bike-ride, bending forward towards the handlebars?

• Do you slouch on the couch?

• Do you play golf?

• Do you play tennis without moving the whole body for a backhand stroke?

• Do you lie in bed or on the couch for more than 9 hours a day?

• Do you lift objects weighing more than 4 kilos?
