Typing posture and neutral reach
Place the keyboard where the elbows can stay near the body and the shoulders do not lift. Keep the head balanced, feet supported, and wrists near neutral rather than bent sharply upward or sideways. There is no single ideal typing position for every desk or body.
Wrist position and key force
Avoid resting heavily on the wrist while reaching or pressing harder than necessary. The hands should travel only enough to reach while the arms and shoulders remain relaxed; a wrist position that feels neutral is more useful than forcing a visual posture template.
Breaks are part of performance
Short breaks that change position, relax the hands, and shift visual focus are more useful than waiting for severe fatigue. Longer practice is not automatically better practice, especially when technique becomes tense.
Adjust the setup to the task
A number-pad task, laptop keyboard, and split keyboard create different reaches. Put the frequently used surface close enough to avoid sustained shoulder reach, and use the keyboard layout that matches the hardware you are measuring.
Stop for pain or persistent symptoms
TypeWorkout is not medical advice. Pain, numbness, weakness, or persistent discomfort deserves a break rather than more repetitions and, when appropriate, evaluation by a qualified professional.
