the trading lifestyle sitting in a chair all day is not healthy,
so being able to stand up during the day for a couple hrs helps, as
well as some cardio, stretches, and exercise.
being able to stand up is nice because when I'm a chair I find
myself slouching over all the time, when you stand up, you are
forced to stand up straight.
( I think I put his daughter through college), I can offer some
second hand professional advice. You may not need it
however....
One of the largest strains on the back is the abdomen.
Without seeing a pic of yours ( that's okay save it) the typical
person has the gut hanging and pulling on the lower back. Six
minutes a day of
properab exercises will help immensely.
Form is most important. Doing them wrong can cause more harm.
In short, never let the back arch while doing whatever exercises
you chose,. Forget a Roman chair if you are not a body builder.
A little off topic...Know what you are sayin Matt.....Try P90X
if you're lookin for a great exercise program......Awesome and will
get you in shape for those long days at the trading desk...
Matt have you ever thought of adding a treadmill? One of the
docs that I work with has this in her office and she can do 2-3
miles of walking every day.
