I’m so sick of restaurant and takeout meals, I inform ya. It’s additionally superb to have espresso at dwelling – 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 right now’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 stage 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! Excellent for cardio exercises or shaking my legs out
– My PEMF Go Mat. I take advantage of this for meditation each morning, or once I really feel like I would like a recharge or Zen second. My full PEMF Go Mat overview submit is right here, and for those who’d like one for your self, right here is the hyperlink! My code is FITNESSISTA15 for 15% off
– A regular desk. I like having this for shorter work classes or once 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 The desk and chair are from World Market however each offered out, since they’re years outdated.
– Triangle shelf (related right here) stuffed with images and the ladies’ paintings.
– On the alternative wall (unpictured), I even have this guide shelf, which has a few of my health and vitamin assets and the Pilot’s navy cash/flags/thingies.
– New strolling pad and electrical standing desk. I picked lower-cost choices as a result of that they had good critiques and I’ve been impressed thus far!
TBH, I began to dread time within the workplace as a result of it often meant that I’d be sitting for hours. I’m certain lots of you’ll be able to relate, however once I sit for hours, I really feel horrible afterwards. My muscle mass are creaky and my vitality stage plummets to the bottom.
As soon as I’m “within the zone,” it’s simple for me to get right into a time warp and work nonstop, however for longer duties, I positively must drive myself to do it. Having the strolling pad has made a WORLD of distinction. I don’t really feel daunted by giant 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 seen that my afternoon vitality is a lot better once I’m slowly strolling as an alternative 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 exhausting means)
– Use sneakers! This was a studying level for me as a result of I do just about the whole lot barefoot. The bottoms of my ft began to harm a bit, so I depart 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’ll be able to connect to your ankle if monitoring steps is necessary to you.
– Watch your neck and regulate the place of the desk as wanted. Ideally, our display must be consistent with our eyes. This isn’t lifelike after we’re typing, however for those who’re watching a video, strive elevating the desk so that you don’t must bend your neck as a lot to view the display.
– Take breaks. It’s necessary to take display breaks whether or not you’re strolling or seated. Give your eyes an opportunity to relaxation, go outdoors, or just look away from the display and in all instructions. (Clearly watch out for those who’re doing this whereas strolling lol.) I additionally wish to put on my blue mild blockers once I’m on screens after sundown, and through the day, I’ve f.lux on my pc (which makes the display extra of a yellow hue so my retinas aren’t burning).
– Identical to anything, 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 too can 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 modify 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 have now fairly good espresso, snacks, and the cutest Sheepadoodle curled up at my ft.
