I just did all of them! And I feel good… . I also bought myself a stand up desk, to place on top of my present desk, and I love it.

I’m already planning to convert to a standing work station in the very near future! Heard some success stories with doing so, plus it fights fatigue, etc. 🙂

Very funny. Tend to think to keep healthy and stay sane as a writer generally a walk “outside”, especially in a green space, may help a tad more. Walking is not only one of the best ways to stay fit, it helps us stay more alert and sleep better and country walks can reduce depression and raise self-esteem, never mind get the creative juices flowing!
Just saying ;o)

Though I work out every day, it’s not enough to keep me in fighting trim. I read Susan Orlean’s piece in the New Yorker about working at a treadmill desk and thought if I had the room it would be interesting to try. Does anyone else work standing up or on a treadmill? Are you really able to concentrate on what you’re writing as you stand/walk?

By the time I get to the stop light I’m usually typing on my phone.

There is something about walking that allows me to take the time that I need to find the right first words.

Wow, as I get ready to publish my first book, I have spent the better part of the year working indoors and I was never a ‘sitter’. My weight has stayed the same for years and I am a health conscious eater. That said, the darn scale has gone up 4 pounds this year with no changes to usual diet and exercise. We have to pay with vanity it seems, lol.
