Have a desk job? Then you know the struggle! It seems like we have to work extra hard outside of our daily jobs to lose weight...because...we...sit...so...much!!!!

    Im in school, So i also sit for most of the day. Hours of classes followed by hours of studying. I try to get up and move when I can. I go outside for a 20 min walk when I can.

    If I didn't have my fitbit reminders to move I would sit on my butt several hours in a row. It's bad.

    I work in a call center so I sit all day too. The struggle is so darn real.

    I work 12 hour shifts rotating back and forth from days to nights. I try to sit for 1-2 hours then stand for 1 hour. I try to be as active as I can when I am off and when no one is around I workout in my "horse shoe" as we call it. kptkt1i4dx1j.jpg

    I've got a sit/stand desk at work as well. I do find that I tend to be pretty fidgety when I'm standing. Now whether that is due to standing in one place or the music...who knows. :smile:

    Yeah it sucks. My low back and hips get really tight from sitting all day. Whenever I get up throughout the day I stretch my hips and they always pop. If i don't put any conscious effort into walking more, I would probably only average like 3-4k steps a day. It's ridiculous.
