Being Fit while sitting all day...
Hi. So, here's my situation and dilemma... It's one thing to work a desk job, but it's another when you're tied to your desk, almost literally... I work in a call center, and I am tied to my desk. Yes, I get two 15 minute breaks and a lunch (and I spend my lunch exercising in the gym). But, I spend the rest of my day at a…

Need New Cardio Ideas...
When I went to the gym every day, I would go use the Stair-climber treadmill because I would get a high calorie-burning workout in a shorter period of time. It was extremely effective.

Exercising while in a desk job...
I would love some advice. I work in a call center and am not just in a desk job, but in a job where I'm almost literally tied to my desk with a headset. I have two breaks and a lunch, but that isn't a large percentage of my day. When I get off of work, I'm needed at home helping make sure dinner gets ready (whether I'm…
