I work from home, software stuff. Sit all day. I realized I was gaining weight and not able to do much. Last Black Friday I bought a cheap treadmill, lost ~30lbs so far. I feel so much better, I try and do at least 1-2 miles a day, sometimes more. It takes 1/2 hr while watching TV.

Treadmills can be hazardous to your health.

Get a balance ball and a adjustable desk that allows you to work standing.

The balance ball helps you build core muscles and the standing will also help your back.

I’ve struggled with the same thing. I get in 2-3 miles a day. I also switched to a plant based diet, which has helped me.

My office has treadmill desks which helps. Great idea. I’ve discovered I can type in 10 different languages!
