    working at a desk all day then standing at my part-time job

    Same as me.... I sit behind a computer all day, then my part time job (which is tonight) working in the emergency room.

    I started going to the bathroom 2 floors up. That way, each time I get up, I get stairs and steps!

    At a desk all day, have been for 19 years. Just moved to a new office that has fewer steps to the bathroom and no stairs. :(

    Chained to a desk here too. Once I'm off probation I'm going to see about getting a sit stand work station hopefully though! Add me!

    Todays deskercise challenge is to do a wall sit once every hour for 1 minute. Let the burning thighs begin! Feel free to add me for more desk jocky fun!

    1 hour commute each way.... then ....... desk jockey.

    What's helped my is:

    - taking the long way around to the bathroom.... literally adds 200+ steps each time
    - purchased a DeskCycle.... I can pedal away and no one is the wiser
    - getting away from desk at lunch and going for a 45 minute walk.... every day, whatever the weather, whenever I can
    - do my stretch routine when a couple of my co-workers go for their cigarette - you can set your clock by them
    - as soon as the snow is gone I will be parking my car 6-8 miles from work and cycling the rest of the way

    Today, I decided that once every hour I will do 10 somethings - lunges, wall push ups, pace,.... so far so good.
