One simple step to a healthier life

A lot of the people I hear from in my coaching gig talk about how they want to get healthier and change their lifestyle to fit. Most people that do this though think this is going to be a very difficult journey, but in reality there are many simple lifestyle changes you can make to help.

Most of you already know some of them. Park far from the building, take the stairs, etc, etc. Some require more energy like working out, getting physical activity every day, getting good sleep, or eating healthy 80% of the time. This post is to give you one simple change you can make that will make a huge difference in your march to be more healthy. Look at this:

What is that you ask? That is my new standing desk. For many in the US our jobs contribute greatly to our sedentary lifestyle. The evolution of work in the US has meant almost exclusively more people sitting for 8+ hours a day. This sedentary lifestyle is horrendous for our health. The lack of motion is one of the worst things for the human body beyond the necessary sleep each night.

I originally had my monitor on an adjustable standing desk piece like the keyboard is, but decided to add the shelf instead to get my second monitor back in play.

Most large companies have ergonomic assessments and there are many versions of these types of stands. I got mine at Uncaged Ergonomics and they are pretty cheap (the version I got was $140 but they have even cheaper ones) so most companies will pay for them.

Make simple changes in your life to get healthier.
