Ask HN: How do you stay active during the day?

4 points by hexomega 7y ago ↗ HN

I had been quite active during the holidays for around 3 weeks and since I came back to work (SW in an office) I noticed that I am sitting for around 8 to 9 hours a day whereas I was sitting for only 4-5 hours during the holidays. I feel this is affecting my mood, energy and sleep.

How do you folks stay active during the day at work and mitigate the risks of such sedentary lifestyle other than training/exercising regularly or going for walks during the day?

May I ask why not these two? Those would be my first choices, so I think you may have something more specific in mind.

Simply because they are the obvious and they are what I do already. I have no data to back this up, but I feel that training/exercising and a walk during the day are not enough for the body to be/stay healthy compared to sitting for most of the rest of the day.
