Strength Exercises I Do at (and Near) My Desk in Midlife

There was ping pong happening behind me when I recorded this episode.

Not aggressively. Just enough that if this were the audio episode you’d hear it and think, oh, she’s definitely not at home.

I was standing in a coworking booth with a resistance band around my legs.

Yes. Around my actual legs. While working.

Very professional.

And I keep wondering, why is it so weird to move at work?

Because my brain is moving. My thoughts are moving. Everything up here is firing. And my Body wants to join in.

If you want to keep thinking about this with me, you’re welcome here.

I write to make sense of what my Body is doing and how that changes how I work, move, and think. And right now what it’s doing is refusing to sit still like a polite midlife woman with a laptop.

And I don’t think that’s a bad thing.
