I get to my desk, boot up my computer, grab a cup of coffee and sit my but down in the chair. And there I sit and sit and sit all day long. Sometimes I get up to walk to the conference room only to sit again. If I’m lucky I get up to fill my water bottle. As the day goes on I go from a caffeine high to a caffeine low, wishing I had a pull-out bed and my favorite pillow.
Sounds like many of your days? If you answered yes, you aren’t alone. Most of park it on our rear ends and barely move for the rest of the day. But, unleashing your creative potential and getting joy, laughter and happiness out of every day does require MOVEMENT, building block #7. Yes, going to the gym or out for a run is great but movement is also about increasing our calorie burn and getting the blood flowing throughout the day. It gets more oxygen to the body and brain, shifts our thinking, increases positive endorphins and lowers stress. A recipe for a fantastic day!
Don’t worry, I’ve done my job and done the research for you. I scoured the internet for the easiest every day exercises you can do at work or home. Your job is to pick at least 3 to incorporate into your day from here on out.
For all of you out there that excel in this area, feel free to comment with your personal experience and ideas for keeping the metabolism fire hot and the imagination flowing.
