The Golden Rule to Lose Over 20lbs of Fat is NOT DIET or Exercise (wish I knew sooner)

Eat correctly and move more has always been the starting point.

I purchased a stand up desk and allow myself to sit for only 8 minutes per hour, a short 7 to 10 minute walk every hour then stand for the remainder of the hour... It was a game changer for me, dropped weight, lowered blood pressure by a significant amount. This one just one minor change i made.

I am on my fitdesk cycling on and off - while working and listening to this right now :D It really stimulates the brain and makes me less sleepy even if I haven't had enough sleep. NOte that standing desks have been shown in multiple clinical trials is unhealthy if standing for more than 4 hrs straight (similar to increased mortality from smoking) and increases risk of varicose veins and edema due to pooling of blood in the legs. As Thomas has said correctly, it is about moving ...not just standing stagnant.

to save you 12 minutes - the thing he's talking about is... don't sit!!

I keep a 3kg dumbbell on my work desk. Whenever I pause work for a few mins, rather than stare at the wall or look out the window, I'll do a few sets of bicep curls and overhead pumps. I've also got an under the desk pedal thing, but I tend to use it with my arms for an intense 3 min burst evert so often. I'm lucky I work from home or I'd look pretty weird.

Get your steps in people! Not only would it help with your weight, but it’s easy and also good for your heart

Good news for me as a 62 year old woman. A great motivator for housework and gardening. 😂

If you workout, you need rest to heal...

This is difficult to do if you actually HAVE a desk job, especially in a cold weather climate.

Listening to this as I have to do my 4 hour drive today and tomorrow
