- kevinskii 16y agoYes.
- pavel_lishin 16y agoI do remember reading that being twitchy can help you stay healthier, and lose weight. It all burns calories.
- chadmalik 16y agoI recall another study that figured out people who are the gym who flex in the mirror all the time (hate those guys!) get more fit. That probably applies to desk jockeys as well.
- pavel_lishin 16y agoAwesome. I'll pick up a mirror tonight, and start flexing into it while I work, shirtless. I'm sure the coworkers won't mind.
- trafficlight 16y agoShow them this study and tell them the solution is to flex in a mirror while you work. The goal is to get all of your coworkers doing this. Then you'll really have something.
- tobtoh 16y agoI believe so. For me, I'm always squashing stress balls (not because I'm stressed), twirling pens around my fingers, or playing with rubber bands (in addition to bouncing legs). I've always been on the thin side which people put down to high metabolism, but I suspect a lot of it is also to the fact I am in fact almost always in motion (even if only a small part of me).
