Work AND Work Out!

Yeah, I actually looked this up! But, did you know that sitting too much can decrease your life span! More so in women than men. I didn't find too many ideas online except for stuff like running in place for 30 seconds at a time or doing jumping jacks.

One thing that seemed interesting was peddles you can stick under your desk so it's like you are riding a bike while working. Has anyone tried this?

Also, lifting your feet at all times while sitting in your chair. It's harder than you think!

Can anyone suggest anything else?

I obviously don't want to be running around the place like a maniac or doing lunges in the hallway. I mean, we can all be a bit crazy, but in general it's pretty quiet around here.

There is one guy in the basement that has a really tall desk that he placed his treadmill in front off. Awesome, but a bit extreme for my situation.

There was this whole study done online about filling your whole day with extra movement. I can't remember what it is called, but it had some ridiculous name. But it made sense. Something as simple as swinging your legs while sitting, tapping your feet while waiting, pacing when you have room, etc just burns more calories.

Well, any ideas for me?

Work Week Drama!


Is it bad when you are more excited to get to work to hear the latest drama from your co-workers than the actual work?

Well then, consider me bad, but it's really one of the most entertaining parts of my day. I'm not too terrible of a drama queen. At least, not in front of anyone but my mom. Or maybe, other people just have more interesting lives. Whatever it is, I LOVE it! I just get to hear everything that is going on without having to get involved or having it directly affecting my own life. Pure bliss!

I get to hear who is seeing who, who's facebooking everyone at work, who's mailbox got run over, where people are going for the weekend, who lost wieght, who gained weight. It might not seem terribly interesting, but it makes my day sometimes!

And, it has definitely made work more worth it. The environment is social and laid back.

Where do you get your drama fix from?
Anything new going on with anyone?
