    Just a quick one: one of the authors at the ‘Online Nursing Degree Directory’ (ONDD) blog just published an article that I thought the readers of this blog would find of interest:

    ’20 Simple At Your Desk Exercises For Web Workers’.

    It ties in nicely with my previous two articles:

    - Sitting in front of the computer for too long: The Effects (Part 1)

    &

    - Sitting in front of the computer for too long: The Solution (Part 2) .

    Hope it’s beneficial!

    Okay people, I came across these points that may motivate many of you to start exercising. I was pondering over this subject for a while now, that is, how to motivate oneself to exercise. After having read these points and remembering the state of many unhealthy people i’ve seen, I thought I would share them with you for your benefit :)

    Here goes:

    1. Improved heart and lung function
    2. Lower heart rate and blood pressure
    3. Increased blood supply to muscles and improved ability to use oxygen
    4. Increased HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol)
    5. Decreased triglycerides
    6. Reduced body fat and improved weight control
    7. Improved glucose tolerance and reduced insulin resistance
    8. Enhanced immune function, which means
      • Increased resistance to viral and bacterial infection
      • Increased resistance to cancer
    9. Lowered blood sugar levels and reduced risk of diabetes
    10. Longer life expectancy
