Desk Workouts from a reliable source: Another McMinn

with 2 comments

My brother has a great post on getting exercise at your desk.

So why does working at a computer cause so much stress to our bodies?

Well, the answer is pretty simple. Humans were not made to sit down for long periods of time, staring at a screen, typing and mousing. We have spent much more of our 2 3/4 million year history hunting on foot and moving from place to place following food sources with the seasons

There are three more videos as well:
