Any office/desk workers??

ohoh! me!

Yeah, the sitting all the time is killer and then i go home and sit in front of my computer to work on my class stuff (graduating next spring! woo!!)

I've started to set alarms for myself so that every two hours I force myself to go on a short walk - like five minutes or less - out and around the building. It's perfect right now because the weather is great and I'm not sure what I'll do when it starts to get icy/snowy - the ice being more the problem. But for now it gives me an extra 900-1000 steps a day and I'm going to start taking 20-30 min walks at lunch too.

I'm also looking into those standing desks that you can raise and lower. That would be helpful too!

I go to the gym before and after work. I wear ankle weights at work (don't know if it helps at all) and walk a couple laps around the office whenever I can. Instead of messaging or calling my supervisor on the other side of the office, I walk over to his desk. At lunch, I walk around around the office (too hot here in TX to walk outside). If you have a parking garage at your work, park at the top and take the stairs.

Me too! My garmin watch tells me to move when i havent been active for an hour so i try to escape from my desk then to climb the 2 storeys to the top of the building then back down to my desk. In my lunch hour i go for a brisk walk between 30 and 45 mins. My main activity is after work / at weekend though with gym classes, running or cycling at least an hour 5 times a week (but usually much more than this anyway!). I also aim for 15,000 steps a day.

I make time most days for deliberate exercise. I don't really try to stay active at work other than taking the stairs or getting up every hour to walk around the office...or go talk to a colleague in their office or cube rather than emailing them or paging them over the phone.

I'm also pretty active when I get home as I have a 7 and 5 year old who need played with and otherwise tended to...also, cooking, cleaning, yard work, fixing this or that, etc...I don't usually sit down when I get home until about 8:30 when my wife and I have our dinner.

I also avoid "rock star" parking pretty much wherever I go. I have a grocery store about 1 mile away from my house and if I just need a couple small things, I usually walk...stuff like that. But at work I don't really go too much out of my way to be active as my priority is getting my work done so that I don't get fired and can provide for my family...

I have the notifications set for my Fitbit and it reminds me to get moving. So I'll take a lap around the office (approx. 180 steps). If I need a signature from someone on another floor, instead of putting it in the cart, I will walk the stairs.

I am an engineer all day...in front of a computer. Lethargic is the best description of my exertion at work.

At night and on weekends I run, swim, and cycle as well as work our farm. I squeeze in a Sprint Triathlon every now and again just to keep hearing my friends say that I am crazy.

I can do the above because my kids are grown and on their own...no way I could do this if there were still kids at home with homework, ball games, recitals, etc.

I don't work in an office, I have recently left my career to go to school full time to finish my graduate degree. So there's a lot of butt time where I'm seated all day, either in a classroom or the library. Add me.

I get up early to workout; spin class 3 days a week and interval class the other 3 days. I used to do pilates or an abs class during lunch. At work, I get up every so often.

I definitely go out for lunch and walk.

If you have an office with a door, close it and "walk" at your desk. This beats sweaty 90° days.
