Every time they get in the gym.  Every geek or computer guy I know runs right for the equipment where they can sit down.

Why?  It seems like thats become the geek fitness way.

You have been in that position all day long in front of a computer.  I know its comfortable to you but fitness is not about being comfortable.

In order to make progress you must take your self inch by inch out of that comfort zone.

When it comes to exercise choice,  try picking the exercises that force you to stand.

Examples…

Instead of a Recumbent Bike use a Cross Trainer.

Instead of Seated Rows do Standing Rows with a functional cable unit or rubber bands.

Instead of a Seated Pressing do some Push-Ups

Instead of Decline Sit-Ups with your legs anchored try Planking for a minute.

Its time to go from geek to athlete.  Give it a try for a while.  I guarantee your back will also thank you.
