    I partially agree with you, in that it’s easy to not get enough exercise. I disagree in that it’s not that hard to get it, either.

    Had a desk job, too, but I’d just walk around with my laptop in my hand if I didn’t have a lot of typing to do (list management, ticket management, etc.). Usually did this while I had meetings, too. If it was a Daily, I’d get a cheat sheet in hand and do laps through my apartment with my headset. Same when it was a huddle, or brainstorm, or something informal like that, I’d usually handle the laundry (while dancing around and putting an extra flourish and flex to everything - I do this pretty much all the time while doing stuff at home).

    I also took that one hour for lunch even while working from home and used it to take a walk. Used to eat while reading documentation, anyway…

    In addition to this, it is vital to take that 10-minute break every hour, which I did, and used it either to stretch, or to do intensive stuff around the house (I always try to do chores faster and faster for the physical effort).
