I've always been someone who walks around more than my co-workers, but it's still a desk job.

How often do you have to add air to keep it firm for sitting? Do you put the ball in one of those wheel bases, or just directly on the floor?

But I am up getting things, watching as a stand up, you name it all the time. I even stand at my computer by putting it on my kitchen counter in both my home and office and have always found that I think better when on my feet. I would also always sit on a ball and not in a chair, which instantly uses more muscles. And just limit the TV time. Jim I totally love to watch TV and am frequently at my computer.

And just limit the TV time.

So much of our work is done online, and now even training for work and lots of other activities is provided online. I'm personally not on Facebook, but a person is often considered a social outcast if they are not, and of course you better be online if you are looking for work. It's pretty difficult to stay away from the computer these days if you want to function in the year 2010! I'd sure like to hear your thoughts about this for those of us who don't have an "active" job and like to enjoy a few TV shows.
