this scared me a bit since my new job keeps me sitting the whole day... so what my co worker and i do is take a walk for at least 15 minutes going to where we ride then near home i'll go take another 20 minute walk... its the only exercise i get... in my old job i use to take the stairs but since i'm now working at the 19th floor, well, just imagine what i'd look like when i reached our office afterward...
