I work in Corporate America from home in an online capacity, with my full-time job (i.e., desk job), my part-time job as an adjunct professor, and as Founder & CEO of my technology company. I find that I'm sitting at my desk for long stretches, with little time to get away. I have a Versa desk that can go up and down, but that still doesn't move the needle when it comes to getting in activity and exercise. I have decided to get a set of dumbbells and one of those hydraulic arm exerciser trainers as supplements to sitting for long periods (i.e., 6-10 hours). I am also getting some ankle weights to use for leg exercises while sitting at my desk. Anyone out there in the same predicament? If so, what are you doing to get involved in movement/activity when you are glued to your desk for hours on end?

Guys, what are some of the things that keep you motivated throughout the day, week, or month? How do you make it through those tough times when everything isn't a bed of roses? Traditionally, I can pull myself out of the despair pit, but every now and then, I need a little something. I have a few whiteboards on my wall, and a few years ago, after a very tragic event that rocked our entire family, my daughters started putting little quotes, inspirational messages, and poems on the whiteboard, just to let me know what I mean to them. Then my wife joined in as well. When I see it daily, as it's right in front of my desk, it gives me that extra little push I need to make it through and understand why I'm doing what I'm doing... It's primarily for me, but it puts me in the position to take care of them.
