Get a gimmicky phone, together with a friend you always compete with. LG, Samsung, whatever. They now come with health apps that track the steps you take. Challenge your friend to a competition - who will walk more in a week.
To achieve this, this helped me A LOT:
1. Find some thoughts to crunch. Either a problem you're working on very hard, or find a problem to work on very hard.
2. If too tired for crunching thoughts, find some good audiobooks. Pop-science does it for me.
3. Walk from work to home, don't order lunch and choose places that are further away and walk there, drink more water so you'd have to walk to the bathroom more often (2 - 2.5 liters per day works wonders). Every little bit counts.
4. On weekends take a bus / train and visit some nearby town or park, and walk around looking at stuff.
5. Buy an entry level mirrorless camera, with a fixed focal length lens, and enter photo challenges as a hobby. I guarantee you'll have to walk quite a lot for it. And it's fun. -
@lotd as many scientists have discovered, it's not the lack of exercise that's the problem, but the amount we actually sit. Sure, exercise is great, but we're killing ourselves just by sitting.
->>> to add to my above post:
6. Use Pomodoro method but double the periods. Work hard, take a break, and do some push-ups.
7. Get an adjustable height desk so you could stand. Though having this desk doesn't make me stand at all, so maybe it's useless. -
@sam9669 she does seem to have difficulty knowing what is left and right... Also, why is nudity considered pornographic? Nudity != sex .
PRO LIFE SAVING TIPS FOR DEVS (long rant, not clickbait 😝)
I have a medical condition called DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis). It clots blood in veins near lower body parts. Affected leg swells and become red and it is very painful. It happens when you very frequently sit for very long.
I used to play games, code and stuffs for hours and sometimes I used to stay at home without taking decent walk for weeks. I am only 18 and did not see it coming. But its really early stage and I might be fully recovered real soon.
This condition is not rare and happens to millions of people every year. And it can be avoided if you avoid sitting at computers for long hours and take 5 mins to walk or stretch. Even if you can avoid this condition, there are many others if you dont pay attention on your body. Please take some time to google how you can avoid anything such.
(Please don't comment sympathies, I really know you wish well for me. Instead you can throw tips what you do to relax after long hours of work).
