141. My Inactive Lifestyle? Plus, Wellness + Tech: What’s Ahead
Wellness While Walking
Is It Time to Stretch My Legs?
i've been still for like over an hour. So this is going to be tough. And like so many habit changes are, i'm going to set the rest of my alarms for to day right now. The things i have out now to remind me to move a little bit include a stability ball and a very late a set of light weights and weights. Other options might include a balance disk or a mat, resistance bands and a rebounder.
Yep, we dig into why (and how often) my wearable technology is telling me to stretch my legs, and what I plan to do about it. And then we talk about wellness and tech a bit more, as tech companies come under fire for their negative impact on our wellbeing. Finally, a nudge to be aware, lest we fall into the same pattern over and over.
