Please, (Don't) Have A Seat


For those of us who have office jobs, we sit more than 8+ hours a day excluding the amount of hours we then spend sitting at home in front of our computer, the TV, the coffee table. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of sitting. Next time you plan on offering me a seat, don't. Instead, please offer to take it away. As a friend, you can expect I'd do the same for you.

I've recently been juggling my way back into fitness lately, living a more active life, running around, lifting things, biking as usual, the whole six hundred and seventy nine yards. No, I'm not trying to become the next Governator. This fitness trend is rather drastically different than all previous fitness spells I've gone through. This one is focused on "energy output", or more simply put, getting my heart to pump more blood through my veins each day. Okay, the latter isn't necessarily more simply stated than the first, but the point I hope is clear.

I don't care about building muscle. I care more about how my body feels, and there's hardly a more revitalizing feeling than after having been chugging along outdoors, active, and mobile. Muscles will build on its own. In the meantime, for what seems like the first time, I get to decide wherever, whenever, and however to be active. Even lifting weights, which can seem incredibly regiment at times, instead feels freeing and presents itself as another opportunity to grow, cultivate greater self-awareness, and be more self-accepting and gracious to myself. I just have to keep my heart rate up.

Last week, I was sitting down on the toilet seat in the Seattle office when I noticed a great article posted in front of me on the door about our psoas muscles. If the first thought was, "what the hell is that", read it. I find it rather insightful and important to understand. Combine it with this infographic, and there you have it.

Let's go for a walk (or run)!
