I am a technology working, so I sit on my butt most of the work day, I’m curious how people have incorporated activity into their daily habits in a sustainable way?

What activities do you find enjoyable?

    I’m lucky that I can work from home, I have a home gym available so 3 days a week I do resistance training during my lunch hour (when the gym is empty since most people here don’t work from home). Upper Body, Lower Body, Dynamic Stretching (wave bag/ sand bag type movements). I probably wouldn’t keep this up, but I have a fitness coach who keeps me accountable, it’s hard to skip a session when they are physically present.

    I do bicycling for about a hour twice a week, usually at night, listening to audio book, or podcast. I have been doing the recumbent bike, but trying to move over to the upright bike - but my groin goes numb after 20 minutes on the upright bike, so, haven’t quite cracked the code yet)

    I used to swim everyday, but I think I overdid it, had a small muscle tear, so I swim only once a week now.

    • 3 days weight resistance training
    • 2 days cardio
    • 1 day light swimming

    I didn’t think I’d enjoy resistance training, but now if there is a day when I don’t have muscle aches, it feels weird and I have the desire to go move things around until I feel sore.

    After 9 months using this gym, i figured out there was free wifi! I’m smart! (the wifi password was written on the router in the emergency stairwell high up on the wall)
