I just got back from the most amazing weekend. I was in Chicago with my business coach Sandi Krakowski and 22 other business owners for a Mastermind conference.
I got some amazing tips and breakthroughs that will help me to serve you better and provide you with even more amazing information, classes and products.
Even though I loved every second of the meeting this weekend, my body was sore from so much sitting both in planes, trains and automobiles on the way to and from Chicago and also in the meeting itself all day Saturday.
A couple of weeks ago, we talked about the fact that sitting too much can kill you and I definitely felt its effects after this weekend.
Remember that the main take-away from that post was that we are designed to move and we sit too much, even if we exercise everyday.
Sitting too much is not the same as Exercising too little. So keep exercising, it’s benefits are amazing, and find more ways to get your body moving too.
I have decided to share with you some really great tips to incorporate more movement into your everyday life, especially if you have a job where you sit for many hours in a row or if you are often in a vehicle of any kind on the move.
Check out this 4 minute video and then get your body moving!
In fact, you should stand up and give yourself a little wiggle and a stretch as you watch this video.
I was definitely working on some of the stretches I show you in the video as I travelled for 12 hours yesterday in various vehicles and airports.
Have a great day and get moving. It’s time for a break 🙂

Hi Jeannette,

Thanks Angela! I’m so glad you found a practical solution in my ramblings 🙂
Dr Peggy,
These are awesome tips. I am guilty as charged. I am bookmarking this post and will watch the video time and again to get these stretches down pat. I work long hours in front of my computer, have had an anterior cervical fusion and do not wish to have any more:) Therefore, I will be using your strategies for keeping my muscles limber and stretched for less pain and tension. It was great meeting you and learning how to build our businesses together.
It was great meeting you too Carla and I’m glad to hear that you found something in today’s post that you can use!
Awesome ideas Dr. Peggy! I am going to get my exercise ball out today and see if it works at my desk. I *really* hope it is the right fit, that would be perfect!
