What can I do in order to have more energy during the day, when my job requires me to sit for 9 hours a day. I workout almost everyday, but when your just sitting and typing all day it can make you drowsey. Can anyone please help?

i sit all day too- 8+ hours... Can you get up at lunch time for a short walk? I fit my curves workout in during my lunch hour- it's only 5 miles from my work, so by the time I go and change and come back, my hour lunch is about up. I sit and eat at my desk when I get back...

do you have stairs? our mailroom is downstairs so 2ce or 3x a day I try to walk down and check the mail- and our bathroom is downstairs too...

more exercise always energizes me...

I know what you mean, I sit at work all day as well, and there are no stairs. The office is also quite small, so I feel a little awkward if I'm getting up but not going anywhere. There is a water cooler that is across the office from me, and I make it a point to use a small glass, drink lots of water, and make frequent trips to refill. I also have a very bad coffee habit, and after my coffee I find I get somewhat jittery and that's enough for me to find excuses to get up. I try to also find tasks where I can stand performing them(difficult when most of my job involves a computer on a low to the ground desk) or even get up and stand every now and then, because standing at least is better than sitting. Hope that helps, and good luck with it.

yeah Im here with you, feeling it too, I feel like crap but just like every other day, i go. I end up feeling much better afterwards. Once you start moving around that drowsy feeling disappears. I stretch during the day, and I second blues4miles with the frequent trips to the bathroom. Stick with it, some times its mind over matter.
