I feel much better since I started working remotely.

I lost 35 kg, started walking about 8 km every day, i can switch my position in front of the computer (half the time i sit on a ball by my desktop, the other half i lie on my bed with laptop on it). So I don't have back pain anymore.

Please don't make me waste 1 hour commuting every day and sit in 1 place for 8 hours ever again.

How did you get in the habit of walking 8km a day working remotely? I hope your example can motivate me

I have a thing that I do since years since I live in Vienna. I basically go around to at least 2-3 cafes a day, sit and work in one for a couple of hours, then walk to the next one for 4-5 kms and so on. On a typical day, I walk between 8-11 kms depending on the circuit I choose.

I have never enjoyed office atmospheres and need life/noise around me to be able to concentrate. I'm also fairly restless and need that walking to be able to think / clear my head.

Not the OP, but in a similar situation. It’s amazing how much more time and energy you have available to do other things when you aren’t wasting time and energy (both physical and mental) on a stupid pointless commute.

Negotiate different working hours if you can, I now work 4AM to 12 Noon which gives me all afternoon every day to exercise and work on my own projects.

Bed at 6PM/7PM, up at 3AM

I weighted 130 kg and decided it was too much. Also I had lots of time so I started waking early and walking 5-10 km before work and more on weekends.

I walk my dogs while attending meetings. An 30 min meeting is easily a mile or more. They’re happy about it too.
