Ain't that the troof!

 

My one legged stability is getting better but I have to get permission from Nicole before I do them. 

Right - if your knee tracks inward at all doing these, you need to go back and start with the hip strength.  Otherwise, your knees will hate you.

 

Do you sit a lot at work as well?  One thing that works against us working shmoes is that the hour a day of working out or running isn't really enough to combat the 8-10 hours we're on our rump during the day.  It's almost a losing battle.

It's more like 10-12 hours sitting most days.  And mostly unavoidable unless I were to get a standing desk (my coworker is campaigning for one for herself, but it ends up being a huge pain because we're on dual-monitor setups, and most standing desks aren't wide enough).  I try to stand on the subway though, at least most of the time.

I have dual monitors (well, one lap top and one monitor separate) and a standing desk!

Thanks for the input sapf and Oski-- can I ask (if you know) what kind the desks are?  We are on 60" desks and couldn't get by on anything much smaller (I forgot to mention they also have to accommodate a mac mini+its monitor for bizarre organizational reasons).  We haven't found anything suitable, other than the varidesk, of which we'd need two.

Also I have a feeling getting the company to pay for anything is going to be hard-to-impossible-- my coworker is making the request now and if it goes through I might try for the next buying season, but that would be ~12 months from now.

Also I am lazy and I have a feeling I would end up sitting most of the time even if I had the option to stand.

They don't look like they work with monitors over 22" :/

Thanks for checking, though!

Those Ergotron Workfit might be interesting for me, except they'd have to be able to handle 2x  24 inch or 2x 26 inch screens. But I could manage to use our older 22 inch monitors. I'm sure I could find colleagues willing to trade my 2 24in for 2 22 in   I just can't seem to find the price.

Anyway I'm going on vacation for a month, but when I come back, I might check with my boss to see what she thinks of this.

EDIT: They sell them on Amazon.ca  Cool!

Bummer!  You have some big monitors lol

Yeah my setup is a little insane - 2 27" cinema displays plus a 17" display attached to the mac mini.  It looks like there are setups that would accommodate me (now that I've been looking around all day), they're just not cheap.
