Today's 10-minute walk is helping you stay fitness consistent.

So let's go for a walk.

I have a stand-up desk in my home office.

Got this in December, so I've had it for a little while now.

And it really has transformed the way that I

work. It's funny, and this surprised me pretty early on. One of the things I've discovered is I've

been using the stand-up desk is just how more willing I am to walk away. I'll be standing there, for example,

thinking of ideas, episode topics for the podcast. I might have two or three, and then I hit a little bit

of a roadblock. It's like, well, okay, what else? What else you got?

And inevitably, what I do is just walk away. Take a little walk out of my office, pace around the

house for maybe a minute, maybe two, and inevitably I'll think of another idea or three, come back to my stand-up

desk and write those down.

And what surprises me, the thing that, well, first off, what doesn't surprise me is how powerful

walking is for finding solutions, being creative, coming up with ideas. It's research proven.

So that's not surprising. What was surprising then, and even now, often when I'm sitting,

I won't get up to take the short walk. The friction of standing up is sometimes too great for me to actually do it.

Because I still do some work sitting down.

I don't just have a standing desk, but there's also a sitting desk.

I have both in my office, and so I will do both.

And there are times when I'm sitting and working and I get stuck and I don't get up and take the walk.

It's like, really?

You mean the friction of standing up is so great that you won't do that?
