I’m so sick of restaurant and takeout meals, I inform ya. It’s additionally wonderful to have espresso at house – 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 right this moment’s publish, I needed to share my little work at 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 (work at 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! Excellent for cardio exercises or shaking my legs out

– My PEMF Go Mat. I take advantage of this for meditation each morning, or after I really feel like I want a recharge or Zen second. My full PEMF Go Mat overview publish is right here, and in the event you’d like one for your self, right here is the hyperlink! My code is FITNESSISTA15 for 15% off

– A regular desk. I like having this for shorter work periods 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 (comparable right here) crammed with pictures and the women’ paintings.

– On the other wall (unpictured), I even have this guide shelf, which has a few of my health and vitamin assets and the Pilot’s navy cash/flags/thingies.

– New strolling pad and electrical standing desk. I picked lower-cost choices as a result of they’d good evaluations and I’ve been impressed up to now!

TBH, I began to dread time within the workplace as a result of it often meant that I’d be sitting for hours. I’m positive lots of you possibly can relate, however after I sit for hours, I really feel horrible afterwards. My muscle tissues are creaky and my power stage plummets to the bottom.

As soon as I’m “within the zone,” it’s simple for me to get right into a time warp and work nonstop, however for longer duties, I positively need to power myself to do it. Having the strolling pad has made a WORLD of distinction. I don’t really feel daunted by giant 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 seen that my afternoon power is a lot better after 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 be taught the exhausting means)

– Use footwear! 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 somewhat, 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 possibly can 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 ought to be in step with our eyes. This isn’t practical after we’re typing, however in the event you’re watching a video, strive 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 in the event you’re doing this whereas strolling lol.) I additionally wish to put on my blue gentle blockers after I’m on screens after sundown, and through the day, I’ve f.lux on my pc (which makes the display extra of a yellow hue so my retinas aren’t burning).

– Similar to anything, work as much as it! I positively 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 kind for about an hour. Begin with 10-Quarter-hour and add on a bit every week till you attain your aim time. You can even 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 change issues up a bit, however now that I’ve the strolling pad, I’ve been extra excited and motivated to work at home. 🙂 Additionally, we’ve fairly good espresso, snacks, and the cutest Sheepadoodle curled up at my ft.
