Working from home is great for lazy people (like me!) I’m not saying all people that work from home are lazy, (most are stay-at-home parents who work their tails off!) but it’s a great option if you like sleeping late, setting your own hours, and staying in your pajamas all day. But, since you don’t have to wake up early, get ready, commute, and go out into the world like “normal people,” it can be really easy to let your health sit on the back burner: especially if you’re sitting all day.You kind of adopt an “anything goes” attitude: my diet consists of almost all fast food, and my exercise routine is non existent. Why should you care? It’s not like you have to look good for anyone. This attitude can be really bad for your health, though. Check out this post by Jennipher Walters at Spark People for ways to stay healthy when you have a work at home job:
-Choose your chair: sit on an exercise ball, an ergonomic chair, or even a treadmill desk!
-Set a timer- make it a point to stand up and walk around every hour
-Create a routine- set a bed time, a wake up time, work time, and gym time- stick to your schedule!
-Use your kitchen- keep it stocked with healthy, fresh foods
-Go outside whenever you can!
