There are few professions that allow a healthy amount of exercise throughout the day. Unless you are a Zookeeper or Park Ranger or Mailman on a walking round, the chances are you spend a good deal of time shackled to a computer screen while the pounds pile on your butt and your muscles slowly vegetate into mush!
Taking the right amount of exercise in a techno working environment is difficult and resisting the temptation to snack throughout the working day to relieve tedium is so hard! The combination of eating junk foods and sitting stock still for many hours at a time has a lethal effect on our physical condition.
At the end of the day, the last thing we feel like doing is pulling on some lycra and heading for the park for a jog or the gym to lift weights and spend an hour on the treadmill. What we really feel like doing is grabbing a large hamburger and settling ourselves onto the sofa in front of something mindlessly entertaining – as if our rear ends needed more rest!
The ideal solution to the problem is to find a reasonably healthy diet option combined with a manageable exercise regime – one that does not require a towel around the neck and a bottle of scotch to fortify us for the ordeal! There is an incredibly easy exercise plan making an impact on pen pushers everywhere that requires as little as eight minutes out of the day, each day. This leaves plenty of precious time free to pursue other interests – even watching TV!
Taking care of ourselves has become a 21st Century problem that we have all tried to solve with 20th Century ideas that simply do not work. Dieting by trying to exist on a limp lettuce leaf or two throughout the working day makes us miserable, albeit a little thinner but it does not necessarily make us healthier and the lack of exercise that is the result of not having enough strength to complete a reasonable workout leaves our muscles inadequate for use – slack; turning to fat and liable to cramp!
If your working day involves spending more than four or five hours at a desk, your rump is going to tell the tale. It’s so embarrassing having a bottom the size of a small country and so silly of us to continue piling fat when just eight minutes per day will sort the problem out and help us to feel fit again.
Putting yourself first is the key to a healthier and more comfortable lifestyle, for just a few minutes per day. The results are incredible and visible in a week or so. Pen pushers need not be blobby and unhappy!
