Yours Truly, Yoga TV; Khadi's Tips For Keeping Fit At Work

I am a Yoga sport coach and must stay on top of my own fitness while at the same time having to spend a lot of time on the computer doing PR and other computer business tasks. I work at home so I do have a little freedom to move as I choose. Sitting long can take a real toll so what I've started doing is wadding up all the little pieces of to do lists and memos as I finish with them and throw them on the floor. I also toss to the floor everything that has to be filed, put on the calendar, phone messages, etc so that I have to stretch and breath to get down to get each piece individually. I try to run up and down the stairs to fit quick chores in while pages are loading or printing. I also keep a blanket behind my chair so that I can slip in Yoga Sun Salutations, Tai Chi, other stretches, and push ups while I'm waiting. Keeping small weights at my computer desk and a squeeze ball to keep hands strong has proven to be a good idea also.
