These are the stairs outside my office. They lead down to the garage except they’re always locked so no one uses them; no one except me that is! Every couple of hours, when my frustration level at sales people and their silly questions has gotten too high, I walk out there, rest for five minutes while reading on my Kindle app and then I run up and down these stairs. I run 20 times, about 2 to 3 minutes, and it’s awesome.
My legs feel weak but my body feels great. It shoots up my metabolism for the next two hours too, which is an added benefit to the stress release and exercise. In short, this little staircase is how I keep my ass from getting too wide while sitting in front of the computer at work.
You might not have stairs near you but I’m sure you have something. A desk you can jump onto, an empty conference room you can do push ups in, a roof you can do pull ups from. Whatever it is, do it once every two or three hours. Your stress level will go down and your body will thank you.
