Go to Work to Get Fit

Treadmill-workstation of Seattlepi

How would you like to have a workstation that combines a computer, a desk and a treadmill into one unit?  "Instead of being sedentary in front of your computer, you will stand. Instead of standing still, you'd walk on a treadmill. Instead of meeting around a conference table, you'd talk business while walking laps on a track."  Sounds perfect for those who spend most of their work time in front of a computer, huh?

My workspace is mobile.  I take it with me wherever I go.  It is made up of numerous complex smaller units that work systematically well... Well, most of the time.  There will be days that it'll need a little push, a tickle may be, some water?  Yeah a cup of water --with strong caffeine.

It's no electronic machine. Just the human machine.  My body.

Heavy load of work is done on my toes (or was it the middle sole as taught by chi running?) running around the perimeters of trees (yes, the few spaces left in Manila with trees. Email us to find out where.), standing tall falling tall (secret of our running clinic participants), breathing fresh air, listening to mild chirping of birds, and sometimes vis-a-vis puppies. Creativity "sprint off" during this time while perhaps, if lucky enough, I would use my phone to take down notes of the wonderful creation in my mind.  And few times, if waiting cannot wait, put it across the SMSpace.

I wish everybody have the option to have a workspace like mine :) While it's not available for everybody, each one can find time to stretch those muscles, burn some calories, get energetic and be revived in spirit while you hop on your running shoes.  Join RUNNEX as we hold, FREE Running clinic every Sunday at U.P. Plaridel Hall.  Email activeculture@Ymail.com for more details. 

Incidentally,  Executive Runners of the Philippines (RUNNEX), with the Quezon City government, is preparing for the 2nd Quezon City International Marathon slated on 5th December 2010.  Bigger-- Better-- More-- at Philstar.com
