So you are at work, busy as a bee, buried beneath papers and files, juggling calls, etc. You need a break. You really do. Sitting at a computer is torture on your neck and back. Plus staring at a computer screen all day is crap on the eyes. So, what should you do - take up smoking?? Ah, no. I just read about this website called stretchbreak.com. You can download software to your computer and it will send you reminders to take a stretch break throughout the day and give you stretches to do.

Hey, its almost like having your own little fitness fairy right there at your desk. Let me know if you try it!

Living in NYC you see some interesting things. Some are really cool and some...well some are pretty darn nasty. However, last night I saw someone finding yet another way to use its resources. A man set down his bag, put on some weight lifting type gloves and grabbed ahold of scaffolding above him. He began doing pull ups! It was great.

I asked him how many he was going to do and he replied,"5 sets of 20." Impressive, I thought seeing as most of us can barely do 1.

It gave me a new appreciation for my surroundings and the fact that there really are no valid excuses. There are opportunities all around you ~ you just need to motivate yourself to use them!
I was going to take a video of him for the blog but I didn't think he would be cool with it. Anyhow, get up and get moving!
