I need Yoga or something
In the war between me and my body, my body is winning or rather my body and I are losing. I am now officially fat (not quite Johnny Vegas … yet) despite losing a stone in weight (my muscle has completely been replaced by flab) and have constant nagging aches and pains. I don’t exercise now at all, don’t get any fresh air (unless you count walking to the wheely bin) and have bad posture.
What am I going to do about it? Honestly probably nothing. I know what I should do. As if I needed more prompting I just read this by SarahPullman
“It shouldn’t come as a surprise if you’ve been paying attention to your body *at all*, but as it turns out, “a slew of ergonomics and other posture professionals… all voiced the sobering truth that human beings were not designed to fold themselves into computer workstations each day.” And in case you were wondering,
The most egregious ergonomic crimes I see include sitting without any back support for more than one hour at time; extended reaching in any direction, causing problems for the shoulders, neck and upper back area; awkward neck positioning and rotating the neck repeatedly; and people … pitch[ing] forward off their chairs,” said Deborah Read, MOTR/L ergonomics consultant.
Yoga For Geeks sounds perfect, especially because it mostly takes place in Vancouver, my favourite place in the whole wide world. Perhaps a lottery win would cure all my problems. In the meantime I need to get me some good posture, some exercise and a whole new diet. Actually I need to completely overhaul my behaviour. Which probably means I won’t do any of it!
