A Little T.LC.

I recently saw an article titled “sitting is the new smoking” and it hit me hard. Hours of commuting, hours on Zoom or sitting at a desk. It’s a reality for most of us…What do we do about it? I summoned my wellness community for tips and wanted to share.

One of the top back doctors that we work with said it is all about changing positions throughout the day. When I am working from home, I now set an alarm for every 30 minutes. I go from working at a standing desk, to a sitting desk, to a counter. I just keep changing my position, therefore avoiding repetitive stress injuries, and it keeps my body guessing.

Every few hours, get some movement in. Even a 15-minute walk is good for the mind, body, and soul. I just purchased a walking pad ($150 on Amazon) to use in between meetings, and I get a few steps in, so the weather is no longer an excuse.

Of course, we hope you are getting to the club for exercise, recovery, and stretch!

Ponder This 

“You are the greatest project you’ll ever work on. Restart. Reset. Refocus. As many times as you need to, just don’t ever give up on yourself.”
