Seattle Times, 12/31/06 - This news story reports on the growing trend of personal trainers and others helping office work get moving on the job. Some good ideas in this story:

  • Change your position every 15 minutes
  • Take a 15-minute walk at lunchtime
  • Walk to a colleague's office rather than calling or e-mailing

Resources mentioned in this article:

  • Desk Sets DVD, Sharyn Pak (personal trainer)
