    I work rotating 12 hour shifts from days to nights in a power plant control room. I post crazy workouts, farm fresh recipes and open diary. Feel free to add me. Here is my view at work. We call it the " Horse Shoe".

    I too have a sit down job, and sitting still drives me nuts all day! I’d love to be in a group of friends like this.

    8.5 hours a day at the desk for me. I have a Tony Little Gazelle glider in my office that I use in 5 minute intervals when I can. Recovering from a major surgery fusing my pelvis to my spine and looking to lose about 35 pounds. :-) I'm 42 and in Washington State.

I will repeat for 30-40 minutes depending on how I am feeling. Feel free to try mine or comment on ones for me to try. I am always looking for a challenge.

    Yes, I am in a real life Office Space. But we do have treadmills. After work, I go for it!
