Hellooooo! How are ya and the way’s the morning going to this point? We’re again into actual life after our little journey and it felt good to have a couple of days of normalcy. 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 as we speak’s put up, I wished to share my little make money working from home setup, plus my expertise utilizing a strolling pad. It’s helped me dramatically enhance my steps and exercise stage throughout longer work days, and I’m so pumped with this replace to the workplace!
My WFH (make money working from home) setup
My lil workplace area:
I’ve sufficient room in right here to meditate, work, stroll, or get in a fast exercise (like Sculpt Society).
Here are a number of the issues I’ve within the workplace:
– My beloved Peloton bike! Perfect for cardio exercises or shaking my legs out
– My PEMF Go Mat. I exploit this for meditation each morning, or after I really feel like I want a recharge or Zen second. My full PEMF Go Mat assessment put up is right here, and in case you’d like one for your self, right here is the hyperlink! My code is FITNESSISTA15 for 15% off
– A typical desk. I like having this for shorter work classes or after I want to talk/current, like dwell 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 (related right here) stuffed with images and the ladies’ paintings.
– On the other wall (unpictured), I even have this e book shelf, which has a few of my health and vitamin sources and the Pilot’s navy cash/flags/thingies.
– New strolling pad and electrical standing desk. I picked lower-cost choices as a result of that they had good evaluations and I’ve been impressed to this point!
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 may relate, however after I sit for hours, I really feel horrible afterwards. My muscle groups are creaky and my power stage plummets to the bottom.
Once I’m “in the zone,” it’s simple for me to get right into a time warp and work nonstop, however for longer duties, I undoubtedly should pressure 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 possibility to maneuver whereas I’m doing it. I’ve additionally observed that my afternoon power is a lot better after I’m slowly strolling as a substitute of sitting for a very long time.
Some ideas for utilizing a strolling pad with an electrical desk:
(and a number of the issues I’ve needed to be taught the laborious method)
– Use sneakers! This was a studying level for me as a result of I do just about every thing barefoot. The bottoms of my toes began to harm a bit, 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 may connect to your ankle if monitoring steps is necessary to you.
– Watch your neck and alter the place of the desk as wanted. Ideally, our display screen needs to be according to our eyes. This isn’t lifelike after we’re typing, however in case you’re watching a video, strive elevating the desk so that you don’t should bend your neck as a lot to view the display screen.
– Take breaks. It’s necessary to take display screen 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 screen and in all instructions. (Obviously watch out in case you’re doing this whereas strolling lol.) I additionally wish to put on my blue mild blockers after I’m on screens after sundown, and in the course of the day, I’ve f.lux on my pc (which makes the display screen extra of a yellow hue so my retinas aren’t burning).
– Just like the rest, work as much as it! I undoubtedly do NOT stroll for hours per day – and it’s not my aim as a result of I don’t need my physique to anticipate it – however I’m as much as the purpose the place I can stroll and sort for about an hour. Start with 10-Quarter-hour and add on a bit every week till you attain your aim time. You may also use it to interrupt up longer seated classes, 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 make money working from home. 🙂 Also, we’ve fairly good espresso, snacks, and the cutest Sheepadoodle curled up at my toes.
