For those trying to get in shape thru diet & exercise but are chained to a desk job like me, when you get up every hour, do as many pulsing squats or squat jumps as you can in 60 seconds. This helped me keep my metabolism engaged throughout the day!
1. Set a timer to stand, stretch, walk etc (every 45-60 minutes)
2. Drink water all day long (it is good for you and makes you go to the restroom)
3. Go for a walk (it awakens your creativity)
4. Invest in your health (ergonomics at your desk, for example a standing desk, balance board)
5. Exercise (it boosts your productivity)

What if I'm in school
Thanks Sean, I run my CZcams channel in the same field as my full time job. Health is one thing that can easily be overlooked when sitting at a desk for 10 hour days ( I freaking love what I do though!!!)
Love love love the health tips for heath and wellness! Taking breaks is key for both our health AND our mental performance. I work better when I get up once per hour and also get outside in the sunlight. I also have mini resistance bands that I put around my legs to do legs stretches while I'm sitting on on breaks. Thanks for incorporating health into your creator videos! So applicable for me and hopefully many others 😊
Wow! The remark you made about the foundation working up hit home hard with me. It's not all about just fitness and health, just self-development, or just business development...it's about all three, and in a hierarchy that really creates a synergy with one another if they are properly ordered and utilized. Great piece of content, keep it up!
Great tips. To help reduce the time I spend sitting at my desk I will get up every so often and do a small chore around the house like loading the dishwasher or washing machine, or helping to prepare lunch. Also when I can I will go outside and water the fruit trees. I find that watering the trees not only forces me to stand, but it is a good opportunity for quiet reflection and recharges my creativity.
Oh, and I cannot forget, I have a cute little dog who get jealous if I spend too much time on the computer and will jump on my lap and get between me and the computer or bark up a storm until I get up and play with him.
This is so true! We sit too much and move too little. The good thing is that more and more people are becoming aware of how big of an impact staying active has on our health and work performance. I am very happy that I found your video because staying fit when sitting all day is also my passion and this is what I focus on in my videos.
There are still many companies, however, completely ignorant to this concept. I have heard statements from some managers that when the employees are moving around to recharge, instead of sitting at their desks working, they are seen as unproductive. As stupid as it sounds, unfortunately this is the reality.
The good thing is that times are changing and more and more people are joining this stay-active-at-work revolution. Video like this is a fantastic example so thanks for posting it!
All the Best,
Joanna
Great points Sean! A couple of other things I do, especially for the budget minded, is to buy one of those large, inflatable stability balls and sit on it at your desk. They are pretty inexpensive and they make you use your muscles while keeping your balance when you are sitting at your desk working. Also since I have a 2 story house and my office is on the first floor, I put certain things I use often upstairs so when I need them I have to run up the stairs and get some exercise.
Keep up the great work brother!
Thank you for this helpful video. I currently have a desk job while trying to make it on youtube after hours. I just got my youtube studio put together and what's cool is that my former tenant who was renting the room that is now my office left a home-made desk that is tall enough to be a standing desk for me. I'll definitely be taking your tips into consideration :).
Thanks for the shout out!! Literally that day I was like, hmmmm wonder what Sean does to stay fit?!? I need that bike tall desk combo in my life.... coming soon I hope!!
awesome information! thx for sharing these great tips!!
This is just the video I needed! I got a video editing job and to be honest, I spend most of my time editing in bed, lol. Thanks so much!! :)
Thanks for the video. Great thoughts!!
A timer is a great tool to use to remind yourself to take stretching breaks. Love that you used Alexa - so convenient! Cheers!
really good tips! im your fan!! Thanks bro!!!!!!!
This was really helpful to me✨
GREAT TIPS, THANK YOU.
Thanks for the great video! I have a white board that I need to write on through out the day, I put it on the other side of the room so that I have to get up to edit it. I too do the timer thing. And, I have made it a habit to pace around the room and/or the house when I am on the phone.
Fitness development + personal development = business development. 🤯 So many gems here 💎 thank you!
I agree with your first tip! Definitely need to set a timer. My grandma is insanely bad condition due to sitting for the last 20 years. Get up and move around!
Agreed - get up and move! :-)
These are great tips!
Thanks for the advice! I just got hired at a startup as a social media specialist and I'm there 9-6. I stare at my phone and laptop all day so I'll definitely be implementing your tips!
6:34 Tony Robbins said the same.. energy to conquer objectives is important
Sweet video!
I actually workout everyday. Stress, poor nutrition, toxic chemicals and lack of exercise cause cancer. Awesome video, Sean. Also thank you for shaping me gain 2k subscribers on my channel. You deserve one million subsrcibers, Bro. Much love from Miami =)
I watched this video while working out on my treadmill :)
On my work computer I have the scheduler reminding me to standup every 30 mins.
Thank you!
Fantastic video! I do a 2-3 hour walk every day to free my mself from the desk where I work a lot of hours every single day. These walks help me with creativity a lot! Most of my ideas come from the time that I spend walking.
Thank you for this video with all the amazing tips. Please make more like this!
what do u do for living?
Webdesign and logo design mostly :)
Nice!
I drink water ALL the time
and stand as much as possible! 🌱
2:43 - "Drink water all day long"
Oh that's right! *reaches for water* I try to get around a gallon a day and have been trying alkaline water as well.
I've also been using a sit-to-stand desk at work for the past few months and it has been my #1 favorite health accessory I've used (second being my TriggerPoint Therapy foam roller).
I totally agree with the tip of getting up every hour. Where I work I get up every hour or so and move around because I need to get up and move. Also, I try to think of good situations of when I need to move (offer to help customers, get something from downstairs, give people their mail, etc.). Another thing I tend to do is move my legs back and forth because I can't touch the ground (positive side of being short) BUT I don't suggest doing it if you are sitting too close across from someone.
Thank you...
There is a Mac app called Just Focus. It's the best Pomodoro app ever. It'll force you to get up from your computer.
Exercise is a massive plus. I go on a barefoot run every morning before work and if I don't go for a run, my mentally suffers... more than it already does. :) I have a good friend that schedules an unbreakable 1 hour exercise meeting every day. He schedules this in his calendar and not matter what comes up, he doesn't cancel that meeting. Brilliant.
Hey can you make a video of the best smartphone accessories for vlog while driving, what set up to use and where is best to mount your camera/smartphone. Thanks
I have a onewheel that would be a lot of fun combined with a stand up desk.
Well this was Awesome as always!
Thumbs up! (this comment too)
to create a daily routine is very important to every sector of development.
having a routine will make sure that you wake up early, start work at the right time, keep you healthy by planning a healthy diet and so many more. A routine can also make you more diseplined and happier because you will feel more independent and confident about yourself.
have a nice day everyone and hope this comment can help out :)
It's very helping man. I get up at about 3:30 am . After freshening up i go for jogging and exercise till 7 or 7:30. Then after having bath and meal , What i do is i work for every 50 mins and stretch my body for 5 to 7 mins for the first 3 hours . After my fourth hour i have my meal rest at about 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm . After that i get up to exercise or marketing for my only beloved parents ( I'm not married as i suffer from epilepsy and had an accident 5 years back) for 2 hours. From about 5 pm again sit for work till 9 pm and dose off to sleep. Can u guess how how i reduced . After accident i increased from 55 kgs to 136 kgs and now reduced to 103 kgs after following my present daily schedule.
Listining to music in youre break also actives you more
can you go over the cameras that doesnt have the time limit for recording videos? most of the cameras are only allowing recording up to 4gb or 29mins59sec or less. it would be great to know for the people that continuously record video more than 30mins. or did you already done a video on that? i cant find it if you did. if not, please help! thank always for these great informative videos
God bless you Sean you're a very positive thinker can I interview you when I start my CZcams channel?
You make some of the best and most knowledgeable videos on YT.
I really need to get up from my desk more x_x
Nice
which camera is good for video recording for close object canon 700d/750d or Nikon p900?please answer me
hi my name is sai venkat and i'm from india and this video will help me because i'm in 10th grade and I sit all the time in school and I also run a small youtube channel so I have to edit the videos but I stand up while editing and I keep a stool on that I keep my laptop and edit the videos this ti gives me some exercise and by the way I love your videos it helps in growing my channel
I have a Varidesk. I prefer the one I made out of IKEA tables.
I let my Apple Watch remind me every hour and set a goal on it. If I didn't have the reminder I wouldn't notice how fast time goes!
I work as a teacher of young children. When I sit at the desk I just want to chill out. Great Video.
You said you would link the chair in the description box but I don't see it. Could you please put it in there? Thanks for this video.
Just added it... it's a Aeron Chair by Herman Miller. They retail for like $1000. I bought mine on Craigslist for I think $500. It's AMAZING tho... and I plan on using it for 10-20 years! :-)
Great Video... Check out the book deskbound by Kelly Starret. Interesting
I work 12 hour shifts every day at home with one day off and barely any breaks. Basically I sit down from 7 am - 7 pm...... I wanna quit this job so bad & get one that requires movement. I used to work at a fast paced restaurant & kept my weight down to a healthy level, now I get nervous looking at the scale the weight is just starting to come on....
Thank you for this video! Wow, this is super applicable today as many here in the U.S., including myself, are working remotely and yes, sitting down for many hours. I've unfortunately packed on some pounds, etc. since I began working at home. I'll be reviewing this video multiple times; there are really good tips here. I recommend standing up and doing arm, leg and neck stretching exercises when WFH.
You forgot to put your chair's link I believe.
My wife laughs at me and then I laugh at me when I harp on ergonomics. Seriously though, it is a great usage of one's time
what song is in the intro?
Better idea, avoid all desk jobs all together. True story, I am 6ft even 250lbs man working in a administration job for 5 years. I brought my medicine ball and was told to leave it at home. I quit a week later and worked as a tour guide. I do get paid less; however, I lost 45bls in 16 months and always full of energy and Happy as Hell!!! My advice for all young people, STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM DESK JOBS AT ALL COSTS!!!
CZcams signlanguage. Those hand movements
I need to use a yoga ball because i get sciatica for sitting too long
Thanks for the tips. But the steve jobs example.. well... i dont know about that... 🤔
Great video but I had to do a double take on the thumbnail. It looks like you are not wearing trousers.
lol you just triggered my echo lol
Hippiegirl nice! 😂👊🏼💥💯
Those speakers that listen to your every word are so creepy!! I'm not there yet lol..
Thanks for setting the timer on Alexa for me xD
I barely have any mony and my audio suck. Do you have any ideas for a full setup(camera light and audio) for under $200
VidKid106 Hey there, I honestly just use my iPhone and sit in front of a window and I have to lamps from ikea (similiar ones at Walmart and target) the lamps with several bendy arms and I just point them at my face. People ask my about my equipment often and I just laugh and tell them phone and lamps. And honestly it also makes it fast and easy to edit. In the meantime save up for better equipment. That's what I'm doing ;)
bro, so far I have a $100 cannon powershot a2500, the lights in my basement, and a $90 mono directional mic, but I am not going to hold a handheld mic the full video, any tips?
Yes, first tip is to get out of your basement, no natural light there. Natural light is best for videos. You can use your camera but smart phones are easier for me personally, for the editing part especially. Do you have a smart phone? If you do You can buy a tripod at CVS or Walgreens for like $10 and just sit it on a table or on some books or boxes stacked to an appropriate height. Then Hit record and do your thing. Or in your room if other people are around. I try to record when everyone is out of the house, otherwise it can be awkward and noisy. I don't know if that helps.... but that's just what I do. :))
good idea but what about the handheld microphone problem?
Hmm not sure what to do about that.... hmmm maybe prop it up nearby, duck tape it to a lamp stand maybe lol? TRying to think creatively..... :// Or switch to a lapel mic? I dont' have a mic, so I'm not sure about the best solution there. maybe youtube mic set ups?? Good question....
I don't think I've ever sat a full hour in my life!
Hey Sean,
The thumbnail for this video looks like you're sitting at your desk with your Pants down! LMAO
LOL - I didn't notice that...
Maybe it will help the video go "viral".... :-)
Crushing it :D
I have been doing CZcams for some time now but I don't feel like I'm getting anyway got any tips
Do best camera mics
Great video idea - added to the list!
"How to How To..."? Other than that, great video! :)
LOL... I didn't notice that! Just updated. :-)
Thanks for the catch!
It's all of those nights staying up late editing!! Great video and thanks for the health info. I work IT all day and then do my CZcams channel at night so this was a very useful video for me!
should i ban my haters that are subbed to me but do nothing but leave hate comments?
Who else thought he was sitting on the bike with his pants around the floor at first glance if the thumbnail?
Definitely thought Sean was pant-less in the thumbnail. xD
My sitting job don't allow me to even stand after every hour😢
Lay down at the desk
Thx dont work at a desk job I just have a computer game hobby
1.always keep healthy food infront of you because your brain would think that its the only food you can eat ,basicily you are tricking yourself into eating healthy
2.put something interesting like a infinity cube or lava lamp on your desk because i thin if you look at it instead of thinking about boring work you can thin of other stuff giving you more ideas.
these are what i think you could do hope you take this comment and use it and if you want to see what i would do in more detail go check out my channel:
