Hi Vivo Team,
I hadn’t anticipated how totally stationary I would be while working from home. My back hurts and I gained weight. It’s taking a toll on my motivation. Help!

Jean-Claude, I’m with ya!
When I start working on the computer I can just slump into working and blinking and not get up. Here’s what I try to do. I set a goal of what I want to accomplish month-to-month, in terms of some kind of exercise, and try to reach 80-90% of that.
The next thing I do is every 35 minutes I stand up and get away from the computer for a short time. Also, when I get to the point where I feel like I’m not getting anywhere, I’m wasting my time, I just get up and go for a little trip around the house to snap out of it.
When we are working remotely we also start snacking on stuff. I have a chocolate bar in the fridge right now, I haven’t been eating it for the last two days because I gotta discipline myself. Discipline equals freedom equals health! Hang in there, get disciplined, have a good time.
