Kudos to you!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After your power-packed workout, you plunge into your favorite TV series. Just one episode&#8230; or two&#8230; suddenly, the whole season&#8217;s gone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most of your day, you&#8217;re sitting, eyes fixed on your screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You&#8217;re in back-to-back Zoom meetings, planning, strategizing, or perhaps closing clients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your phone is practically an extension of your hand as you scroll through feeds and answer emails.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you found yourself saying &#8216;yes&#8217; to these, you&#8217;re caught in the &#8220;Online Marketer&#8217;s Chair Trap&#8221;. Lengthy commutes, never-ending virtual meetings, being bound to your screen \u2013 it&#8217;s all part of the package. Maybe you&#8217;re like me, endlessly scrolling through social media on your phone. It&#8217;s a trap that&#8217;s all too easy to fall into, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But here&#8217;s the sobering truth:<\/strong> the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/physical-activity\">World Health Organization<\/a> warns that even if you&#8217;re hitting the gym regularly, a mainly sedentary lifestyle can lead to serious health conditions like obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Unfortunately, your spin classes or CrossFit sessions can&#8217;t negate the ill effects of sitting all day. As an online marketer promoting wellness, it&#8217;s an ironic twist that I, too, am often anchored to my computer screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, fellow Lifestylepreneurs, we&#8217;re not without hope! We can break free from this trap. Here&#8217;s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>If your work involves staring at analytics or running ad campaigns on a computer, set a timer to remind you to get up and move every hour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider standing or walking meetings. They&#8217;re not just healthier but can also boost creativity, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2015\/08\/how-to-do-walking-meetings-right\">Harvard Business Review<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replace your coffee break with a walking break. A lively marketing brainstorm while strolling can be invigorating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Squeeze in a brisk 10-minute walk during lunch and another after you sign off for the day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stretch and do a quick body shake every half hour to boost circulation and break the monotony.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try desk exercises or yoga poses that can be done without leaving your workspace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing ingrained habits, especially when you&#8217;re juggling deadlines, can be tough. But give these tactics a try and notice the difference. Small shifts can lead to big health payoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need an extra nudge?
