Hellooooo! How are ya and the way’s the morning going thus far? We’re again into actual life after our little journey and it felt good to have just a few days of normalcy. 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 at this time’s submit, I needed to share my little make money working from home setup, plus my expertise utilizing a strolling pad. It’s helped me dramatically enhance my steps and exercise degree throughout longer work days, and I’m so pumped with this replace to the workplace!
My WFH (make money working from home) setup
My lil workplace area:
I’ve sufficient room in right here to meditate, work, stroll, or get in a fast exercise (like Sculpt Society).
Listed below are a number of the issues I’ve within the workplace:
– My beloved Peloton bike! Good 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 review post is here, and in case you’d like one for your self, here is the link! My code is FITNESSISTA15 for 15% off
– A normal desk. I like having this for shorter work classes or after I want to talk/current, like reside 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 (similar here) crammed with images and the ladies’ paintings.
– On the other wall (unpictured), I also have this book shelf, which has a few of my health and diet assets and the Pilot’s navy cash/flags/thingies.
– New walking pad and electric standing desk. I picked lower-cost choices as a result of they’d good critiques and I’ve been impressed thus far!
TBH, I began to dread time within the workplace as a result of it normally meant that I’d be sitting for hours. I’m certain a lot of you possibly can relate, however after I sit for hours, I really feel horrible afterwards. My muscle tissues are creaky and my power degree plummets to the bottom.
As soon as I’m “within the zone,” it’s straightforward for me to get right into a time warp and work nonstop, however for longer duties, I positively should pressure myself to do it. Having the strolling pad has made a WORLD of distinction. I don’t really feel daunted by massive duties (like watching a number of movies in a row) as a result of I’ve the prospect to maneuver whereas I’m doing it. I’ve additionally observed that my afternoon power is significantly better after I’m slowly strolling as a substitute of sitting for a very long time.
Some ideas for utilizing a strolling pad with an electrical desk:
(and a number of the issues I’ve needed to study the arduous manner)
– Use footwear! This was a studying level for me as a result of I do just about all the pieces barefoot. The bottoms of my ft began to harm a little bit, so I go away 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 essential to you.
– Watch your neck and regulate the place of the desk as wanted. Ideally, our display screen ought to be consistent with our eyes. This isn’t lifelike once we’re typing, however in case you’re watching a video, strive elevating the desk so that you don’t should bend your neck as a lot to view the display screen.
– Take breaks. It’s essential to take display screen 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 screen and in all instructions. (Clearly watch out in case 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 screen extra of a yellow hue so my retinas aren’t burning).
– Similar to the rest, work as much as it! I positively do NOT stroll for hours per day – and it’s not my purpose as a result of I don’t need my physique to count on it – however I’m as much as the purpose the place I can stroll and sort for about an hour. Begin with 10-Quarter-hour and add on a bit every week till you attain your purpose time. You can even use it to interrupt up longer seated classes, 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 make money working from home. 🙂 Additionally, we’ve fairly good espresso, snacks, and the cutest Sheepadoodle curled up at my ft.
