Your Job Is Killing You Amanda Sterczyk

Do you have a desk job, either working in an office or from your home? If so, that makes you a professional sitter! Spending too much time sitting leads to an early grave. Your body is designed to move, not sit. Not sure how to start? This book teaches you how to reap the benefits of being less sedentary at the office without sweating it out at the gym. It shows you that moving more at work can and should be frequent, flexible, and free.




As an author, personal trainer, and founder of The Move More Institute(TM), Amanda Sterczyk knows that if you love your body, you need to move your body. This book will help you change your habits by teaching you how to add more movement to your work day.




The research is unequivocal: A sedentary lifestyle is hazardous to your health. Physical inactivity has been identified by the World Health Organization as the fourth biggest risk factor for global mortality, behind high blood pressure, tobacco use, and high blood sugar. Labour-saving devices and apps have reduced the need for us to get up and move, which is bad news for our health. The good news is that adding more movement to your work day isn't complicated, and it doesn't need to be costly or time-consuming. With the guidance provided in this book, you can:




Improve your health by incorporating non-exercise (sweat-free) activity into your busy work day, Learn why standing desks aren't the ultimate solution for everyone, andAssess the Zone of Convenience on your desk.




The book is divided into three easy to follow sections: The Problem, The Solution, and The Action Plan. Whether you're an employee or an employer, this book will reveal how small doses of movement throughout the work day can increase employee engagement and morale, improve team relationships, boost concentration and productivity, and reduce stress levels and absenteeism - all while making you feel better.
