Episode 28: The Dynamic Workstation
How should you sit at the computer? Whether you do it for work, or for leisure, chances are, you log some hours behind the computer screen each week. In this episode, I’m going to inspire you to approach those hours differently. We’ll talk about why sitting (or standing) all day is bad, why exercise doesn’t undo those negative effects, and what you can do to get your work done while taking care of your body.
If you’d like to learn how to get the movement your body needs, while you work at the computer, be sure to take my FREE Dynamic Workstation Class. It’s an hour packed with 15 different exercises and positions you can cycle through while you work at the computer! But, it’s only available for a limited time. So, check it out today!
