For me,
Staying all the time in front of the PC = continuously growing pregnant belly
I bought a treadmill for a daily 30 min workout.

| My solution... | Sep 26, 2009 |
Any type of desk job is sedentary and leads to unwanted weight gain. To combat my own personal middle-age spread, I've decided to take up Body Pump. It´s a very active program of weights and cardio work.
I've also been able to enlist support from my 11-year-old daughter and some days we push the coffee table in the living aside and do aerobics together. It's great father- daughter time and is anything but sedentary. Phew, I'm getting out of breath just thinking about it! ...

| difficult to change lifestyle | Sep 26, 2009 |
Living in a hilly town, I know jogging is not always a good idea. After a long period of absence, it's a bit embarrassing to frequent a gym or a swimming club. Firstlt of all, I don't guess there is one in the vicnity. Also, it's difficult to find good partners for tennis immediately on days when I feel like it.
I simply need to know how to find some exercise solution in sedentary lifestyle!

| Back to the gym/swimming pool | Sep 26, 2009 |
After years of jogging under any possible weather condition (including snow, thunderstorms, hailstorm etc etc) this year I am going back to a comfortable gym with lots of weird machines and a great indoor swimming pool. Hey I might get to know people as well!

Nice and convenient, I don't have to pay to go to the gym, I can exercise whatever the weather. I can't cope with being completely sedentary, my brain goes to mush.

Agree - Any type of desk job is sedentary - my last job was too, though it was very far removed from tranlsation
A few years ago, when we were thinking of buying a house, (I wasn't in this profession then) we decided not to buy an 'independent' one and instead bought a small apartment in a complex which also boasts of a compact fitness centre and, in summer, a swimming pool. No excuses now for not taking a few minutes off for exercise - at least five days a week!
Enjoy your Sunday folks

Although I do find that I *really* need to schedule it in.
However, I walk 1-2 miles with the dog 5 days a week,
I also participate in stage combat 3 days per week,
I also try to stretch several times per week.
But it is also hard to start any new activity, especially something organized.
I got luck with the stage combat: it's cooperatively based, wherein the more experienced teach the new people.
So everyone remembers what it was like to start,... See more Although I do find that I *really* need to schedule it in.

This is my usual schedule. At the moment, I'm trying to figure out how to stay active with a broken foot. ▲ Collapse
