Here are a few of the things I do to counteract my desk job. I live in Denver.
-Workout before work (5 days a week, switching programs/routines every 1-3 months)
-Bike to work
-Standing desk with balance board
-Lacrosse ball and theraband at my desk for stretching
-Eat well, mostly Paleo, but not super strict. No soda.
-Intermittent fasting (~8pm to 12pm)
-"Fun" exercise after work(skateboarding, basketball, yoga)
-Work from home 1-2 days a week and move around as much as possible those days.
I've found this works for me but ymmv. I've also been active most of my life.
- weavie 9y agoAre you able to focus on your work whilst standing on the balance board? It looks like a great idea if it could work.
- pat_space 9y ago@weavie Great question. It depends on the work I am doing. I take all of my calls and virtual meeting standing on/off the board. I also create most of my status reports and do JIRA board reviews standing. However, for deep investigation, deployments, requirements writing, and other tasks that require deep focus I sit, either on a barstool or a medicine ball.
