The Great Gumby Project

Let’s face it…sitting at a desk all day is no fun. Not only is it no fun, it is dangerous! Yikes…sorry to lay that one on you but it’s true. There are as many health risks associated with sitting all day as there are for smoking. Wow…I just brought the mood down a ton. But wait! There are things you can do. Walk over to a colleague’s desk instead of emailing them, start drinking more water (which means you’ll have to go to the water cooler more often…and to the bathroom…see, I think of everything!) AND, you can participate in the Great Gumby Project. What you will do is get up at least once a day at work and stretch. Do the following routine and you’ll feel like a million bucks…ok, $750,000 after the exchange rate. I selected this routine because it targets muscles typically found as being tight in those that sit all day. Do each stretch for 30 seconds each or just pick a few of your favourites and do those. As long as you are participating, you're winning
