quick tip - movement

I shared a quote on my Facebook feed that I thought worthy of a repeat as a gentle reminder.

We get so involved in our tasks, or so focused on completing them as quickly as possible, that sometimes we abuse our muscles by keeping them still for too long. 

Figure out a method that works for you to take occasional breaks (one-two per hour) from sitting in one place. Stand up to talk on the phone, walk down the hall to your co-worker, stop frequently on a long car trip. Set a little alarm if you need to.

Your muscles (and other parts of you) will thank you!
