My work requires a great deal of research, study, writing, and design building. All of this means I spend a lot of time sitting on my rear in front of a computer. I love my job and the company, both are great, but I have to adapt to the work load and my heath.
So, I change the way in which I do things. A few months back, we dropped access to TV altogether. I found I spent too much time in front of the TV vegging out. What we did in its place is use Netflix which hones our choices and limits the amount of time we spend in front of the TV. Another item was more involvement with my kids in their sports. I hated baseball growing up, but I love spending time with my boys throwing the ball around. Last, working in the garden is a great way to spend a couple of hours bending over and using muscles that rarely get used.
Overall, in addition to the change in my workout routine noted in my April blog, the summer activities help in the progress of health. When I have to travel for business, I park a little farther away and use the stairs to get my blood pumping. It's not much, but every little bit helps. Remember that the overarching goal is better health.
