How do people stay fit when sitting at the desk 12 hrs a day? I’ve heard people telling me to stand up/walk around/get a coffee but when there’s so much work piling up the motivation is super low

Some super humans (I’m not one of them) work out at 5 am before work or late at night. If you need an energy boost, buy “BCAA Energy” it’s amino acids (protein) usually meant for post recovery but I find it gives me energy to work out

We have the option to use a standing desk so I use that quite a bit. Other than that, frequent water breaks and try to take 10 minute walks once per morning and afternoon unless meetings won’t allow it. I have a standing desk at home for remote work and go back and forth between sitting and standing.

The options are basically work out super early or late at night. Really dialing in your diet will go a LONG way. Like further than workouts IMO. I started doing that in June and I’m in the best shape of my life at 36 after having two kids fairly recently (they are now five and two).
