Great post Fawn.* I also have a desk job and am wondering the same thing.* I get up and walk during my breaks and just about everyday at my lunch I walk for half of it.* Any other ideas other then*whats*been posted so far*for when I'm sitting at my desk.* Seems like there should be something I could be doing.* *

my problem is i cant take a ball the dog would eat it she loves to play and i cant park farther, so any other suggestion and i dont really get breaks either i need major help
*

I have started my new job and love it!!* but i have noticed one thing, i sit all day i have never had a desk job so for me this is hard.* i work in a small home office its just me and my boss so moving around alot just dont happen.* we have talk about walking her dogs which will help but i need some ideas on keeping my body moving while im at work.* im not always busy but am most of the time, help please!!!

Is it close enough to walk there?* If not, can you park further away?* If you get breaks during your day get out and walk.* Eat lunch and then go for a walk.*

How about a balance ball to sit on instead of a traditional office chair.* Will help with your posture and your abs!* You might have to start using it in small chunks of time rather than an entire day right away.

I know this might sound cheesy, but it might work...?*** Have you ever gotten one of those mail order catalogs in the mail, like Harriet Carter, etc.* They often times have lots of little gadgets and products that are marketed to older people, or ones that you think"why would I ever use that"?!** Well, in just about all of them, I have seen this little device that is link 2 bicycle pedals mounted on a kind of block.* To use it, you sit in a chair and pedal.* Maybe something like that would work for you.** Oh, and you might want to reconsider the exercise ball....they are REALLY big, and the dog probably wouldn't look at it as a toy, so you might be o.k.** Just want you to recognize if that is a realistic option for you after all, because I know that I myself will often think and idea won't work if I am in a "self-sabatoging" mind set.* Good luck with a solution!
