it’s the end of the week! congratulations, you’ve survived another week. well, i’m looking forward to the weekend because there is dragonboat training and more importantly, IT’S MY BIRTHDAY… i’m turning 21 again. haha... anyway, enough talk about me and let’s talk about what i think should trend this week. since i've shared with you a ton of ways to make yourselves uncomfortable in the name of fashion. this week, we shall trend something comfortable!
ergonomics, by definition, is the science of fitting workplace conditions and job demands to the capabilities of the working population. effective and successful 'fits' assure high productivity, avoidance of illness and injury risks, and increased satisfaction among the workforce. common examples of ergonomic risk factors are found in jobs requiring repetitive, forceful, or prolonged exertions of the hands; frequent or heavy lifting, pushing, pulling, or carrying of heavy objects; and prolonged awkward postures. so here are some items that you may want to add to your closet, just to get comfortable.

| Yoga shoes |
all ergonomic shoes, or 'ergo-shoes', regardless of design or manufacturer, are designed to simulate the natural condition of walking barefoot on soft ground, rather than with shoes, on concrete, as we so often find ourselves. they do this by distributing body weight evenly, restoring balance, and improving posture and overall spinal alignment. as a result, back tension and pain are relieved, and muscles throughout the body, generally toned.
besides shoes, there is ergonomic fashion as well.
