Your Job Is Killing You: A User's Guide to Sneaking Exercise into Your Work Day (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781687739988)

You might hit the gym before work, but if you spend the next eight hours hunched over a keyboard, your desk job is erasing your hard work. The knowledge-based economy has chained us to our chairs, leading to stiff joints, foggy brains, and chronic aches.

But you don't need a sweaty boardroom workout or a $1,000 treadmill desk to save your health.

In Your Job Is Killing You, Amanda Sterczyk, MA, CPT, founder of The Move More Institute(TM), offers a practical guide to sneaking "snacks" of exercise into your busy day. By focusing on Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT(TM)) and simple behavioral nudges, you can counteract the damage of a sedentary lifestyle-without changing into gym clothes.

Inside, you'll discover:

• The 20/8/2 Rule: A simple formula to balance sitting, standing, and moving every half hour.
• Your Zone of Convenience (ZoC): How to re-engineer your desk setup to force healthy movement.
• The SMOKE Break: Why Sedentary & Movement Optional Kills Early (SMOKE), and how to take healthy breaks instead.
• The Standing Desk Myth: Why simply removing your chair isn't the magic cure, and how to practice "active standing".
