Workout while you Work?!

As a fellow computer geek, or at least a self professed one- I spend countless hours in front of my beloved Mac computer screen. These hours are spent productively blogging and send you all twitter messages. Add in the occasional time spent on Photoshop and you can pretend to be me for a day (for all clients reading this- consider the satire). Regardless of where my time is spent and how horrible my speeeeelling and grammar may be as a blogger- fact is us geeks spend the majority of our waking hours sitting down on our ever growing bums.

I've been trying to work out more, but my desire to eat, tweet, and play with Dreamweaver often out weighs my desire to hit the gym, the drop zone, the slopes, rock climb or even go dancing. I love all of those things. I'm not that lazy (or maybe I am) - bottom line is I spend a lot of time with clients, in meetings, working at coffee shops or sitting on my couch with my laptop and a good movie or podcast playing in the background. The rest of you desk jockeys may do similar things, but if you work on a computer- my point is your sitting.

I'm not sure if this is going to help at all, but I've found some creative ways to workout while you work. If you have other ideas, tips or just hate my posts feel free to comment below! I love hearing from you and feedback is essential to keeping this community going and motivating me to write or make videos for you all.



1. Desk Treadmills:

Do you get tired of sitting in a chair all day? The TreadDesk can change all of that by letting you stand up and walk while you continue working at your desk.

  1. I want to sit on a yoga ball, but my office is a room with couches and a coffee table. I just broke down and hired a personal trainer to kick my exercise butt!
