And they have a lot (too much) of fun with the stability ball, too. I sometimes need to fight for my right to use it :-) Yes, Chris, fortunately our toddlers keep us on our feet throughout day.

I have a toddler as well and he likes to get into everything he's not supposed to. To say the least I'm up at least every 10-15 mins too. Sometimes I work on the laptop on the counter as well. I do really like the idea of the ball though. I'm going to get one of those I think, sounds like fun anyways lol. .-= Christopher Anderson´s last blog ..<a href="http://online-marketing-vault.com/2010/03/what-an-attorney-can-teach-us-about-having-a-usp/" rel="nofollow">What An Attorney Can Teach Us About Having a USP</a> =-.

I guess, it's ok to indulge in this once in a while but certainly not everyday. @Kimberly - At least our toddlers force us to get up every few minutes, don't they? I worry because mine is starting school this September so I'm sure the temptation to stay glued to my chair will be very strong then. @Damian – I agree, it’s really hard to take a break when you’re in the flow and work is going smoothly.

I read that same article, and it really is scary when I think of how much time I spend in front of the computer building my business. I blogged about my own work-at-home-weight-gain a few weeks ago, but I'm making health a priority this year. One thing I do differently now is set my kitchen timer to go off every 50 minutes so that I can stand up, stretch and jog on my mini trampoline or just dance around the living room with my three year old for 10 - 15 minutes . I think I'm also going to incorporate your stability ball idea - good one! .-= Kimberly Ben´s last blog ..<a href="http://avid-writer.blogspot.com/2010/03/elements-of-business-agreement.html" rel="nofollow">Elements of Business Agreement</a> =-.

I suffer from the "sitting-down-too-much" syndrome and always feel like I should be walking the dog more or at least walking up and down the floors of the house. I try to take breaks, but when you're in the FLOW...it's hard. On my new blog, I'm going to be doing a *similar* challenge to yours for myself and my readers: get out your old bike and get in shape. It's going to be a 30-day thing, see if it makes me (and my readers, if they accept the challenge) feel better. Thanks for sharing your insight. Great blog.

Throw a stability ball into what you're already doing and you'll be in great shape. At least, much better off than the rest of us. Good for you, Jennifer!

I like the stability ball idea. I may have to try that. I just got a new office chair and have the back of it set so that it constantly presses against my back and makes me sit up straight. And I try to take regular 10 minute breaks to fold laundry, walk the dog, etc. I fidget a lot, too, so I should be in good shape, right? :-) Thanks for the reminder, Alexis!

I know my shoulders get all knotted up especially when I get stressed out. It's really a good idea to take frequent breaks and do plenty of stretching. I like yoga :-) Hi Sandi, I know, the way we sit can cause a lot of back and shoulder pain. I know my shoulders get all knotted up especially when I get stressed out.

I remember you checked in on me one day and I had completely forgotten about using the stability ball instead of the chair! Thank you, Lorraine. We should all remind each other of our good intentions :-) @Lorraine – Thanks to you, I got really motivated to do something about all this sitting.
