Desk Jockies- are you...

AnnaBanana0327 · March 2010

Are you getting up once an hour and "streching/walking around" like the books recommend? My job really doesn't allow for a 5 minute break every hour. Especially today, I do payroll on Monday's.

What other steps are you taking if you sit at a desk all day? My back is freakin' killing me right now! Thanks ladies!

Yes I am. My back kills me if I don?t at least stand up for a few minutes every hour or so.

I'm frickin dying. i get up every half hour to walk around, it helps for about 5 minutes. But I have this stupid bladder/kidney infection that won't go away.

I'm going to try and get the doc to pity me and tell work that I have to cut back, since they are unwilling to work with me.

I just have to ask how you can even go an hour without having to pee? Haha, that's the reason I get up about every hour!

I get up whenever I need/want to. Thankfully I'm not terribly confined as I have excuses for getting up. When my legs and back start to hurt, I am up and walking around as much as possible.

I usually have to get up to pee, so I take that as my time to walk every hour. Of course the bathroom isn't that far, so it isn't too much walking.

My back hurts so bad too! I may have to bring a pillow to put behind my back soon. I don't care if I look like an old lady!

I have been already having a ton of trouble with my back and hips. I had my computer set up last week so I can either sit and my desk or stand and still work at my computer. It is working great!

I'm up at least once an hour to use the restroom

My cube is at the opposite end of the floor from the restrooms, so I get a little exercise, too

I get dirty looks everytime my boss sees me taking a walk around the building.. but it's gotta be done. I work 10 hours a day, 5 days a week and I'm I sit the whole time I wouldn't be able to move by the end of the day. I do have a stool to keep my feet elevated as well.. so I look like I'm totally lazy lol oh well!!!

I too get up to pee once an hour. I work in a call center and my being off the phone directly impacts production, but I just give my boss the hairy eyeball like, I fricking dare you to tell my 6 months pregnant aching crotchbones self to NOT go PEE so often.

Exactly!

I pee about every 45 minutes, so I guess that counts!
