Episode 59: Why You Should Not Sit Too Long When Working

How many times do you actually stand up from behind your laptop and take a walk or do some proper exercise?

As a female entrepreneur, we sometimes get glued to our laptops and sit for hours on end, only for an aching back or neck to tell us “hey time to get up and stretch”.

I know this because I’m just as guilty of this and spoken to a bunch of other female entrepreneurs about this.

That’s when I decided that this episode will be a bit different and today we are focusing on our health.

More in particular, about the impact sitting has on our bodies if we don’t take breaks more often.

With that I’m so honoured to have Josie Mitchel here with us today.

Josie’s a Sports Therapist and owner of London Sports Therapy in the UK.

This girl knows her stuff and I knew that she would be the expert I’d like to talk to about this topic.

So in today’s episode we’re talking about:

1. The impact sitting can have on your muscles, when prolonged too often
2. Josie’s tips for ensuring you have a healthy way of sitting or standing while working
3. How to walk properly when you’re out and about, to ensure you’ve got the right posture
4. And lastly, the additional benefits of walking often.
