I’m so sick of restaurant and takeout meals, I inform ya. It’s additionally superb to have espresso at dwelling – Starbucks won’t ever be the identical to me.
This morning I’ve an thrilling podcast interview and am unpacking, and re-packing. 🙂 I’d love to listen to what you’re as much as!
For at present’s submit, I needed to share my little earn a living from home setup, plus my expertise utilizing a strolling pad. It’s helped me dramatically improve my steps and exercise degree throughout longer work days, and I’m so pumped with this replace to the workplace!
My WFH (earn a living from home) setup
My lil workplace house:
I’ve sufficient room in right here to meditate, work, stroll, or get in a fast exercise (like Sculpt Society).
Listed here are a few of the issues I’ve within the workplace:
– My beloved Peloton bike! Good for cardio exercises or shaking my legs out
– My PEMF Go Mat. I exploit this for meditation each morning, or once I really feel like I would like a recharge or Zen second. My full PEMF Go Mat evaluation submit is right here, and when you’d like one for your self, right here is the hyperlink! My code is FITNESSISTA15 for 15% off
– A normal desk. I like having this for shorter work periods or once I want to talk/current, like stay recordings, course recordings, and extra formal Zoom calls. The desk and chair are from World Market however each bought out, since they’re years previous.
– Triangle shelf (comparable right here) crammed with images and the women’ art work.
– On the other wall (unpictured), I even have this e book shelf, which has a few of my health and diet sources and the Pilot’s army cash/flags/thingies.
– New strolling pad and electrical standing desk. I picked lower-cost choices as a result of that they had good opinions and I’ve been impressed up to now!
TBH, I began to dread time within the workplace as a result of it normally meant that I’d be sitting for hours. I’m certain lots of you’ll be able to relate, however once I sit for hours, I really feel horrible afterwards. My muscle groups are creaky and my power degree plummets to the bottom.
As soon as I’m “within the zone,” it’s straightforward for me to get right into a time warp and work nonstop, however for longer duties, I undoubtedly need to drive myself to do it. Having the strolling pad has made a WORLD of distinction. I don’t really feel daunted by massive duties (like watching a number of movies in a row) as a result of I’ve the prospect to maneuver whereas I’m doing it. I’ve additionally observed that my afternoon power is a lot better once I’m slowly strolling as an alternative of sitting for a very long time.
Some ideas for utilizing a strolling pad with an electrical desk:
(and a few of the issues I’ve needed to study the onerous approach)
– Use sneakers! This was a studying level for me as a result of I do just about all the things barefoot. The bottoms of my ft began to harm slightly, so I depart a pair of sneakers subsequent to the strolling pad. (I’m loving my Vivobarefoots proper now.)
– Add an extender to your Apple watch or your health band so you’ll be able to connect to your ankle if monitoring steps is necessary to you.
– Watch your neck and regulate the place of the desk as wanted. Ideally, our display ought to be according to our eyes. This isn’t sensible once we’re typing, however when you’re watching a video, attempt elevating the desk so that you don’t need to bend your neck as a lot to view the display.
– Take breaks. It’s necessary to take display breaks whether or not you’re strolling or seated. Give your eyes an opportunity to relaxation, go exterior, or just look away from the display and in all instructions. (Clearly watch out when you’re doing this whereas strolling lol.) I additionally wish to put on my blue mild blockers once I’m on screens after sundown, and in the course of the day, I’ve f.lux on my laptop (which makes the display extra of a yellow hue so my retinas aren’t burning).
– Identical to the rest, work as much as it! I undoubtedly do NOT stroll for hours per day – and it’s not my objective as a result of I don’t need my physique to count on it – however I’m as much as the purpose the place I can stroll and sort for about an hour. Begin with 10-Quarter-hour and add on a bit every week till you attain your objective time. You may as well use it to interrupt up longer seated periods, like strolling for 5-10 minutes each hour.
So there ya go!
What’s your work setup like? Do you work from home, or at an workplace?
I had been exploring some coworking areas in Tucson to modify issues up a bit, however now that I’ve the strolling pad, I’ve been extra excited and motivated to earn a living from home. 🙂 Additionally, we now have fairly good espresso, snacks, and the cutest Sheepadoodle curled up at my ft.
