Getting Up From Your Desk

According to the Daily Mail, the average person only gets up from their desk 3 times in an average work day!

1.  The main reason people stay locked down to their desks is they’re “too busy” to leave.  The number two reason is they’re afraid the phone will ring while they’re gone.

2.  10% of people don’t take lunch breaks, and another 40% regularly eat lunch at their desk.

3.  About one in five people say they’ve put on more than 10 pounds in the past year, and they’re pretty sure sitting around at work is the main reason.

4.  And 70% of people say sitting at a desk all day is having a negative effect on their mental health, physical health, or both. 

SOOOOO, let’s get up from that desk! Here are some FREE apps that will help you do that, a stand up desk with a treadmill that you can order (thank your to Theresa Sarver for this) plus some great advice from our listeners on how they do it!
