In Need Of An Energy Boost?

Sitting behind a desk can be grueling, trust me I am one of millions that do it everyday! Some days aren't so bad, others can be torture! So I found a few tips for my fellow desk dwellers or anyone for that matter, who needs to step away from the hustle of the day and get in a little exercise. Let's ditch the electronics just for a few minutes and try one or more of these.

• Hand deliver mail, faxes and memos
• Talk to your coworkers face to face, skip the email or phone
• Have a meeting to hold? Get out of the boardroom and have a walking meeting.
• Do some jumping jacks
• Get some old phonebooks, stacl them up and do step aerobics
• Do push ups at your desk.
• If the phones is glued to your ear, get a cordless and walk around
• Use a bathroom at the other end of the building

To Walk Or Not

So yesterday day a walking/jogging program started at work. Every year my company does this between April and October. They have preset routes to walk and they range from one mile to four miles. The reward for for this, well you get a dollar for every mile you walk and two dollars for every mile jogged. The miles are then turned in for gift card to Dick's Sporting Goods Store. You can earn up to $500.00 for the whole season, so I figure it is a pretty good deal.

I haven't yet decided if I am going to do this or not. People at my jon are so childish, they find a reason to rat you out and really, I don't need it. To bad I couldn't come up with funny t-shirts to wear to show my annoyance to it all!
