Working out at your desk
I am a proponent of finding ways to work out while at work. Be it taking the stairs instead of the elevator, parking farther away from your office if feasible, or finding the farthest restroom from your desk are a few ways to get some extra steps in your day. What about stretching those muscles while you are sitting at your desk for long periods of time?
FLOW Interactive Exercise Program (by E Wave Corporation) may help with that. It’s a program that you install on your computer. Every hour (or two, depending on what you set it to do), a small video will pop up on your screen and take you through a series of exercises for 5 minutes. It will also give you motivational, inspirational, and nutritional messages throughout the day to keep you on track. The CD is relatively inexpensive (<$30), but from the looks of the sample video, you might look quite odd if you share an office with coworkers or if you have a cubicle in the midst of a large room. However, if you have your own office or work out of your home, it might be a great idea to help keep you motivated!
Now, I’m not saying that everyone should get this video: I’m not sure if managers/bosses would be OK with you working out for 5 minutes every hour of the day, every day, every week. But, if you fit the time that you would spend doing these exercises into your “allotted lunch time” or “break time”, then they might not complain.
If anyone has purchased this CD or does purchase it, I would be curious to hear what you think of it!

Perhaps of bosses & managers know that it would make their employees more productive they’d want all their employees to do it. I’m fortunate to work from home, so I try to get up every hour and do something else, so I get excercise and a change of scenery.
