With the cold weather come aches and pains, especially with repetitivity of our physical tasks.  I thought we could maybe implement some proactive exercises, like head and shoulder rolls, hand stretches, etc. that could combat the stiffness and perhaps ward off any ailments that could lead to call-offs or even *gasp* medical leaves of absence.

Having hand stretches and other stretches posted in the break room would greatly benefit all of us.  I think it will help reduce the hand pain leading to tendonitis and carpal tunnel.  Plus getting up in general to stretch is a good idea.  Sitting down all day and not being able to move around much puts a strain on our backs and shoulders.  Using wrist rests will help keep the strain off your hands too.

Also, I think ergonomic keyboards would be helpful. I can tell a major difference..
