Does my Bum Look Big in This…….Office Chair??!

Posted by Graham on Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

Do you find yourself sat in front of your computer all day, barely moving apart from lifting your hands for the phone, drinking, eating? (We don’t move from our desks for lunch, which in itself can be unhygienic but I’ll give you all the disgusting facts at a later date).

You feel absolutely shattered at the end and when you finally make it home through the traffic, again sat on your proverbial backside in your car…..you get home, bung some rubbish in the microwave oven …..you veg in front of the TV, and that’s where you stay until you muster enough energy to climb off the sofa and into bed?!

The average office jobs are 40 hours a week, we get lazy, even to the point that we start email colleagues that are sat opposite us. No matter how positive you feel, all the good intentions of actually getting home and doing some decent exercise just goes out of the window.

I also read tips like:

  • Squeezing your buttocks together six times
  • Rotate your ankles and wrists six times Sit there fidgeting. (Which if you ask me would just annoy everyone)
  • Then there’s an idea of sitting on an exercise ball instead of the normal office chair, good for posture. Very good for toning and losing weight – apparently!

Ball Chair

And if you get everyone in the office to get one….well who knows, your imagination is your limit! After some serious searching on the net I found a website that may help (and hopefully not make you look like your too crazy?!) Back Health Excercises

Make An Aquarium PC

Posted by Richard on Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

We found this interesting ‘how-to’ video on YouTube which shows you how to make and Aquarium PC using top spec components.

I don’t think it’s suitable for real fish though!
