| Sitting is...Just Bad. |
| Friday, 13 May 2011 13:28 |
|
This week, I've read three different articles on the negative effects of sitting for long periods of time, including one that features an awesome suite of infographics called Sitting is Killing You. While usually fascinated with art made out of dry, boring data, I was a bit disturbed by the spooky characters looming behind the sitter's (presumably me and all the rest of us) desk chair. We know that it is not healthy to maintain a sedentary lifestyle. We know that obesity is linked to long periods of inactivity. But did we know that the effects of sitting for long periods of time are not necessarily cancelled out with extra-curricular exercise? ...Uh, I did not. Yikes. This means that not only do I need to lace up my walking shoes right after I get home from work, it also means that I need to get up frequently during the day and give my sit-bones a break. Luckily, we are out-and-about in Atlantic Station many times a week, but all those fun activities require planning! Sitting in front of a computer or on the phone are just part of the job. My personal goal is to send at least three verbal emails a day - meaning, walking into the other room to talk to my teammates instead of emailing or instant messaging. This should be fun, as I plan use salutations and sign-offs. What are your ideas for staying active during the work day?

I have(had)a pair of the smoke Fives Squared until this last weekend when my oakley discount "friend" hit me in the face with a football and broke them. If I hadn't been floating behind the boat at the lake, I might still have them. One of the sides came apart upon impact and sank. Up until that moment though, I liked these sunglasses a lot. I had them for about a year and they were some of the best glasses that I have ever had. Now before you go feeling sorry for me, dude will be buying me a new pair, TODAY!

Votes: +0
A wrist bag, depending on its size, can also be used as a makeup bag in a larger purse. Many types of wrist bags are colorful and have elaborate designs on them. Some people may shy away from using large purses with such designs on them, so a wrist purse allows the opportunity to carry something decorative without it feeling so overwhelming.

The tote bag is an acceptable, extremely versatile item that looks good with most outfits. You might use a leather tote as a purse or a handbag, or you might use it to bring books to class or any other larger, heavy items such as a Ipad or laptop. It just can be a genuinely high capacity bag which will store all your stuffs in it. Designer handbags and purses report abuse
