I would like to add a few important key points to this:
CHAIR
Make sure your chair has adequate lumbar support. I prefer mine very firm, while others like it softer. There are some fancy ones with adjustable support! With or without arm rests? Height adjustable? Mesh, leather, or cloth? There are so many amazing choices. But don't go cheap! You'll be sitting there for 10+ hours a day, so many sure it is super comfortable.
TAKE A BREAK
I like to follow the Pomodoro technique. There are browser extensions and apps to help keep you focused. Essentially you decide to work for 25 minutes and then take a 5 minute break. Or work for 50 minutes, followed by a 10 minute break. It is entirely up to you!
EXERCISE
When you take your breaks, stand up and walk away. Be sure to stretch your back, your shoulders, your arms, your neck. If you sit for too long, you will strain your muscles. Stretching forces oxygen-rich blood to these muscles preventing soreness.
