Workouts aren't enough

It might sound dramatic, but the time you spend sitting at a desk is also undermining your workout time, as coach Jeff Kuhland notes in his article "How You're Sabotaging Your Posture and Your Time in the Gym":

"You work out for an hour at the gym, then shower, eat, and head to work. You've passed the sixty-minute threshold so your body has absorbed a majority of the nutrients it's going to from your meal. It starts to regenerate and heal. If you have poor posture with shoulders forward, a curve in your spine, and collapsed hips, your body is literally healing the micro-tears and micro-trauma into this poor position. You are actually healing in a shortened muscular state that remains static, slowly solidifying the new connections your body is making."

So don't forget to take frequent breaks while sitting at a desk!
