It's very true that people who do work in offices often don't exercise enough, and don't have time, so that's why I feel the information is great for those who do happen to work in an office. I just notice that the media and society always talk like everyone works in an office. I'm not singling out MDA so nothing personal Mark, keep up the good work.

I understand what you mean. Maybe in this case the assumption is that non-office workers are more likely to have at least somewhat active jobs. I don't work in an office either. (I work at home.) My child keeps me up and around so much that the short break thing isn't so much an issue for the day, but I have to remember to get up and stretch when I work during the evening. I used to work in a lighting factory where we stood all day but moved around quite a bit. Despite the heavy lifting, my back was in much better shape then than now. Wayne,

It would be nice if we could all have our own desk and work in an air conditioned office, but there are many other jobs out there that people do that don't include sitting behind a desk. Like I said I like the article so don't bury me, just wanted to point this out.

Sometimes a 2-15 minutes mini power nap is all you need!

It's especially important after I play racquetball at lunch. If I just sit in the chair for an hour afterwards, I might not be able to walk when I do get up!!. One tip I would suggest for those who might be able to use it. I work on the first floor of a two-story building. Whenever I need to ensure that the plumbing is still operational, I take the stairs and use the upstairs facitily (taking the elevator counts less). This is something I’v been very concious of doing.
