Chris over at LifeHack is getting ready to begin a fitness challenge. In the spirit of staying fit, he lists 5 things you can do in your cubicle to stay fit. I've added my 4 down below too.
Here is what I do to shed some pounds while at a PC all day:
- Take the stairs and leave the chubby elevator people behind (ok, so maybe I am a chubby elevator person).
- Stop emailing your cube neighbor - walk over to them.
- Sit at your deck an imitate the motion of doing arm curls. Just add your own resistance by flexing your muscle all the way up.
- Get a headset so you can pace while you are on the phone (motion creates emotion right? Maybe you'll be a stronger speaker in meetings too!)
Here is an excerpt from LifeHack:
Set 25 Minute Timers - Sure, accuse me of being a lifehack Pavlov, but I think setting a timer is a great way to get you up and moving on a schedule. Try getting up and walking briskly around the building, outdoors, at least back and forth to the water cooler. We tend to process at peak capabilities for only 25-40 minutes at a stretch. Use this natural rhythm to your advantage, and for your fitness.Get the rest of Chris' tips at LifeHack.org
