Dear office athletes^^

I work as an IT freelancer and sit mainly in the office or at home in front of my computer. This is not really healthy for my body as they say: "Sitting is the new smoking". Trying to go to the gym 2-3 times a week, I accomplish my "goals" sometimes, but in busy weeks, when the project needs to be delivered, I fail completely.

I have been a professional tennis player in my teenager years. I had more than enough fitness activity and fresh air every day and could eat whatever i wanted, without worrying. Now I am 35 and have spend over 10 years in various office jobs. Looking at my fellow co-workers I can hardly imagine that i ever want to look as unfit as they are, but my destiny is leading me there if I don't change something drastically.

Anyways I was looking for role models and alternatives how to combine work and staying fit. From adjustable tables to the craziest inventions, which I think are total none sense, like integrated cardio machine workplaces, these odd "pezy" balls to sit on??? I dont think so, it looks ridiculous and I am not sure it has any effect.

I still don't have the solution. (Quitting my office job and becoming a personal trainer would be an option or working as a lumberjack, bit no thanks). Maybe somebody out there knows how to combine working and staying fit. Let me know how you manage your "work/fitness" balance.

So in the meantime I am still going to work and sometimes working from home, which enables me to move around more. Going to the gym and really working a lot with my own body work seemed a lot more effective. Only tried Calisthenics for a few month now. Really inspiring is the guy from thenX, Chris Heria:

Also believe that what you eat and how much/ how often you eat is also changing a lot about how your body transforms.
The regular things like cutting down on sugar seem to make sense. What I always didn't like about "diets" is that you have to eat things that don't taste good. I don't want to make these sacrifices. There are plenty of good foods that are healthy and taste awesome. Pinterest has been a great inspiration:

Like I said. Still haven't found the perfect way, but I am working on it...
