    I needed those suggestions.. lately I have been feeling the soreness from sitting too much at my desk!

      Ditto. I sit all day at my desk and my joints start to hurt when I get up. Thankfully I have to get up often to walk to the printer so I get a little bit of movement. But I definitely need a reminder to move around if I’m not printing something at work!

    Great list! I try to go for a short walk every few hours and also make sure to get up and stretch every hour. I’ll have to use some of the other great suggestions from the list!

      I hope it helps! 🙂

    I love all of these suggestions!

    These are great! I do many of these already. I work on the third floor and always take the stairs. I park at the back of our parking lot, even though there are sometimes closer spots. I have a packet of things I’ve printed from online about desk/cubicle exercises and I even brought my old foam roller into work, plus a towel so I can get some stretching/rolling done between calls. People think it’s weird, but they all enjoy the roller! LOL

      Good for you. I work on the 3rd floor of my building but rarely take the stairs. It’s totally lazy of me, I know….

    “Desk leg lifts”… I though you said desk lifts. LOL!
    I do need to get up outta this office chair and stretch hourly. I’ll make that my goal for everyday next week.

      LOL I want to see you lift your desk….and GO!

    Love it! When I worked in Chicago, I used to bike 2 miles to the train station (even in winter if there wasn’t too much snow!) and then walked the mile to my office after I got off the train. It was 6 miles every day!

    Now I have to drive to work, and I miss all that activity. I love the “play like a kid!”

    Hope you are having a great weekend!

      Aw that is disappointing. Sounds like your old commute was nice!
