Training at your desk.

Here you go!

I LOVE that idea!! My cheapskate company would never invest in anything that's actually good for you.

So far this year they have removed our coffee machines (even though they were ones where you pay per cup!), our cups, sugar, sweet n' low, etc. They also changed the A/C to not come on until it's 78 degrees. We are not allowed to have fans, coffeemakers or any other electrical appliances at our desk. They have bottled water in the machine for $1.25 a bottle!! They also took away any personal printers at our desks and forced us all to use a group printer, which is always jammed.

It's pretty safe to assume that a treadmill at our desk is out of the question.

Tctrek, do we work for the same company?

We used to have: a corporate running club that would reimburse your cost of registering if you do a charity run and wear the company shirt, walking club (ditto), cycling club (ditto), in-house gyms at the larger buildings, smaller gyms (just a few machines, maybe a treadmill) at small to medium sized ones .... the company screams bloody murder about rising health care costs.

All these above and afforementioned perks cost little to nothing (especially the 3 clubs) to encourage fitness and wellness and probably saved countle$$ amounts and even save lives.

But one by one in so-called cost saving measures they are gone. Penny wise, pound foolish.

ha, Knot has me doing exercises all day too. If I'm on the floor no one is surprised, they are used to it.

OK, so what does she have you doing on the floor?

Treadmill might not be practical, but there's the peddler that can be hidden underneath the desk:

That's cool!

RR -The peddler/cyclers I've seen are all under $50, but none of these have an adjustable resistance. (I wonder if anyone makes one with that feature?) I've heard that it's more like being in a recumbent position and they do have a tendency to slip away. Either placing it against something stationary or a mat with some gripping properties seems to be recommended. I was thinking about getting one so I could get some exercise in while watching TV/folding laundry. I spend a lot of time doing my least favorite chore so I might as well feel like I'm doing something productive.

My PT has me doing neck stretches and shoulder blade squeeze things.

She wonders how I can store *that much* stress in those muscles.

I'm threatening to buy a ball for the office (I'm not gonna take the one from home...). And a pilates mat.
