Your health is everything

Your health is everything: We did not evolve by sitting on benches and preparing reports in clay tablets (that came later). For those with desk jobs and work-related sedentary lifestyle, the health risks are real. Thankfully we live in a very health conscious world, with plenty of people having something to say on the subject. We’re also thankful that they’re almost always the same, so there’s consistency. Health sites, like MD Monthly and USA News’ health blog, offer some combination of movement and a healthy diet. Most common advice in the movement department is to take mini-workout breaks, walk everywhere, and park further from work. Healthy snacks and packed lunches helps you avoid being drawn in with the not so health conscious coworkers during lunch orders.

We would be remiss if we didn’t throw in a workout video: Tech Insider has its instructional video for an efficient seven minute workout, which range from the standard push-ups and sit-ups, to the downright manic, such as the running in place. The workout is shorter than the actual video (watch; runtime: 8:31).
