Commute Time – Is It Worth It?

FitBuff Brandon — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 14:00:47 +0000

We wake, we work, we eat, we sleep. We wake, we work, we eat, we sleep. We wake, we work, we eat, we sleep.

Sound familiar? Or did I forget something? Oh yes, the commute time we all spend sitting in traffic, cursing the poor old lady that just cut us off.

In recent years, commuting time to and from work has become longer — which, in turn, causes us to spend more time sitting in a car and less time engaging in physical activity (especially when many jobs are fairly sedentary to begin with).

Here are some interesting stats related to work commute times, and, specifically, how they have changed over the past decade:

Commute Time Statistics

Average Commute: Up 14% from commute time in 1990
Solo Drivers: Up 3.4% from 1990 averages
Early Risers: Up 11% from 1990, when this percentage less of workers were waking up before 5am.
Early Commuters: Up 25% from 1990, when this percentage less of employees left for work between 5am and 6:30pm.
Walkers: Down 34% from 1990, when this percentage more of employees were walking to work instead of driving or utilizing public transportation.

All of these percentages eventually add up to an increased risk of heart disease, as well as several other physical and mental problems.

When we're rushed, we typically do not reach for the healthiest meal options. When we're rushed, we also rarely find the time to exercise. When we're rushed, our stress levels go through the roof, thereby raising cortisol levels and making it harder to burn fat.

We are a nation of overworkers, which may very well be the reason why we are also a nation of overeaters.

My suggestion is to reexamine your own morning commute time to work and ask yourself, in all honesty, whether you are affecting your health as a result of your decision to restart the cycle: Wake, work, eat, sleep. Oh yeah, and commute.

Work Un-Appreciation Day

FitBuff Brandon — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 17:00:14 +0000

Feeling slighted these days? Like your boss just doesn't notice or appreciate your hard work? Well, my only suggestion is to either start looking for a new job, or do your best to not let it get to you…or else.

British researchers found that people who feel as though they are always being treated unfairly at work or at home are at an increased risk of heart attack.

By asking a few thousand civil service workers to rate how they feel in response to the following statement: "I often have the feeling that I am being treated unfairly," the researchers discovered that feeling unappreciated has a significant effect on a person's risk of heart attack.

In the study, the participants were asked to rate how they felt they were treated at work; based on a scale of 1 through 6 (1 being treated the most fairly and 6 being treated the least). After tracking these participants for 11 years, the results revealed a much greater incidence of heart attack in the people who believed they were treated unfairly at work than the results expressed by those who felt as though they were treated fairly.

So, what can you do? Make sure you are a valuable asset to your company, then make sure your boss knows it. Put yourself in a position where they don't want to see you go, and you're guaranteed to get more respect and appreciation.

How about you? How would you rate your appreciation at work on a scale of 1-6?

Standing Desk Extension: FitBuff Member Pictures

FitBuff Brandon — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 22:00:46 +0000

FitBuff member Silvia Barrett sent in some great pictures of how her husband turned his boring, traditional desk into a performance-enhancing, posture-improving Standing Desk.

My husband had a large L shaped desk that he built a base frame for, to lift the whole thing up to the right height for him to use it standing up. He loved it! It helped a lot with his back problems.

What's all this talk about a standing desk? Click here to follow my initial experience, and why I liked it so much that I set up a permanent standing desk.

I Can Stand My Stand Up Desk

FitBuff Brandon — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 20:07:49 +0000

Last month I wrote an article titled, "I Can't Stand My Stand Up Desk." You'll probably want to read that to find out why I was even interested in the topic in the first place.

After nearly a month of my experiment, it turns out I Can Stand My Stand Up Desk — in fact, I love it! I've made a quick little video demonstrating how I first set up a temporary solution, just to test it out and see if I liked it, then how I made my own permanent standing desk. I'm in it for the long haul now!

I urge you to at least try a similar temporary setup to feel the benefits of using a stand up desk. I'm more alert, more productive, and can feel a major improvement in my overall posture, simply because my core and lower back have to work more throughout the day, rather than being completely sedentary for hours at a time. For a full list of benefits as to why you should try a standing desk, click here.

I will admit the first two or three days are tough. If you aren't used to standing for prolonged periods of time, your muscles will need to adjust to the added demand, but after the first few days, it's smooth sailing.

Although fairly rare, there are also some ready-made stand up desks if you decide you like the idea and don't want to make one yourself. Here's an example of one I found on Amazon:

If anyone already uses a stand up desk, is interested in trying one out, or has any questions at all about the whole concept, just leave it in the comments.

Getting some medical advice online can always be helpful, as the net is a great source of medical info on various topics. Whether you need advice on something like back health or you know that you are going to go through pregnancy soon there are sites out there on the topic.

New York Jets Listen to Mozart on the Football Field

FitBuff Brandon — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 02:02:59 +0000

There's nothing more macho than a bunch of big, strong guys throwing on the gear, hitting the field, and battling it out during a grueling NFL football practice — all while listening to Mozart. Huh? What was that last part?

That's right: New York Jets coach, Eric Mangini, has Mozart blaring through the loud speakers during practice. Why?

"From different studies, they've shown â€” I may be a little wrong on the technical side â€” that Mozart's music and brain waves are similar and that it stimulates learning. They play it a lot at schools around the country, very low, underneath. I'm not sure if that's true or not, but why not give it a shot?" said Mangini.

After hearing this on ESPN, as the sportscasters mocked and laughed at the topic, I decided to do a little research myself. I found what is known as "The Mozart Effect." Some believe that listening to Mozart, or any similar Baroque music, stimulates the brain and can increase intelligence, learning, and cognitive ability.

Unfortunately, most of the claims have harsh critics who have demonstrated time and time again that the so-called "Mozart effect" is minuscule at best. One of the topics most well-known opponents is a researcher by the name of Christopher F. Chabris, who had this to say:

Chabris stated that his meta-analysis demonstrated "that any cognitive enhancement is small and does not reflect any change in IQ or reasoning ability in general, but instead derives entirely from performance on one specific type of cognitive task and has a simple neuropsychological explanation," called "enjoyment arousal." For example, he cites a study that found that "listening either to Mozart or to a passage from a Stephen King story enhanced subjectsâ€™ performance…"

My favorite part of that study is the term, "enjoyment arousal." Only a scientist could come up with a phrase like that without seeing the problem it presents to the less mature among us.

On the other hand, one of the reasonings behind the Mozart effect that actually seemed to make some sense was this:

When your body hears the even, one beat per second of Baroque music, your heart rate and pulse relax to the beat. When you are in this relaxed, but alert state, your mind is able to concentrate more easily. Music corresponds to and affects our physiological conditions. During heavy mental work, our pulse and blood pressure rises, and it's usually more difficult to concentrate in this state. The Baroque and Mozart music pieces on the Mozart Effect learning tapes and compact disks have been especially selected for their beat pattern (60 beats per minute), reduce your blood pressure and pulse rate and increases your ability to learn at the same time.

So, even though the actual "Mozart effect" seems to be a bit over-hyped, that doesn't mean classical music can't at least help relax your body and calm your mind. I know I was never a fan, because I thought it was too "old" and not "cool" enough. But, when I decided to give it a try, I was quite impressed at how the instruments and arrangements really do seem to speak without words — not to mention it makes me look smart and sophisticated.

My favorite is the "The Most Relaxing Classical Album in the World…Ever!" series. There are about four or five more with similarly brilliant titles like The Most Relaxing Classical Music in the Universe and The Most Relaxing Piano Album in the World…Ever!.

If your faith in the Mozart effect can't be swayed by it's villainous, scientific rivals, you can try the official CD here: Music For The Mozart Effect, Volume 1, Strengthen the Mind

I don't normally listen to music as I work, but I'm going to test it out a little this week to see if I can tell any difference. Feel free to dust off your classical collection and join me in the experiment.

I Can't Stand My Stand Up Desk!

FitBuff Brandon — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 13:00:05 +0000

Actually, that's not completely true — it just makes for a clever and catchy title. In fact, I don't know how I feel about my stand up desk just yet. Right now, it's nothing more than my laptop stacked on top of two cardboard boxes that my whey protein was shipped in, all teetering nervously on top of my regular old "sit down" desk. This is my debut post as a Standing Desk Guy.

Why Would You Want to Stand Up at Your Desk?

Well, depending on the results of this test run, I may be joining you right back in Chairsville, at which point, I'll be asking the same question. But, there are a few reasons I'm seeing if I have what it takes to master the art of prolonged standing:

Posture – Improving my posture is my primary reason for this little experiment. I'm certainly not the Hunchback of Notre Dame, but if there's a way to improve any aspect of my "total mind and body fitness," then I'm all for giving it a try. In fact, a few months ago, studies challenged an age-old idea, saying sitting up straight is actually bad for your back. Standing will ensure that I never slouch in a chair and will keep my core active throughout the day.
Productivity – Another added benefit of standing is increasing your focus and concentration. Standing doesn't allow you to slump over at your desk and mindlessly wander the web, when you should be doing some real work. There's something about standing up that makes you want to get more done. Of course, it's entirely possible, as standing at your desk becomes second nature, you could revert right back to spending one or…60 minutes watching the latest YouTube videos.
Calories – This is actually last on my list of reasons, because I'm an active person who gets a lot of exercise, but it's still nice to know that standing burns one more calorie per minute than sitting. That doesn't sound like much, but consider this: If you sit at a desk for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, that's 2,400 minutes, which means you could be burning 2,400 extra calories every week or nearly 10,000 calories per month just by using a stand-up desk.

Tips for Prolonged Standing

If you're not used to it, adjusting to long periods of standing can be tough at first. Here are some tips I've learned while researching the wonderful world of Stand Up Desks:

Knees Bent – Many people lock their knees and completely straighten their lower legs while standing. This puts a lot of strain on your bones, ligaments, and hamstrings. The key is to keep your knees just slightly bent to relieve most of that pressure. You don't need to get down into a full squat here, just barely short of locked.
Move – Even if you aren't willing to go the full fledged standing route, this is important when sitting or standing at your desk. Every hour or so, you should stand up and move a little bit. It doesn't have to be much, and you can multi-task, such as pacing around your office while talking on the phone (standing adds bass to your voice for added presence also). It's even easier if you're already standing, just shift your weight back and forth and move your feet a little while you work.
Hang In There – Most admit that the first week of standing up at your desk isn't pleasant. Your body needs time to adjust, and you may feel your back and core muscles begging you to stop the madness. But, I've been promised that your body will adjust, and in fact, become stronger and better stabilize your core as a result.

If I can hang in there, then I will convert to a more professional arrangement, but if you are willing to take the plunge, I would suggest starting with a makeshift setup first to make sure it's for you. All it takes is a few well positioned boxes and/or shelves, and you're good to go. Just make sure the top of the monitor is at your eye level and that your arms are bent about 90 degrees when typing on the keyboard.

I'll keep you updated, and let me know if any of you have used, are currently using, or are going to use a stand up desk. So, pull up a chair, then put it right back where you found it!

*UPDATE* (August 6, 2007) – It's been nearly a month since I wrote this article, and I can safely say, "I Can Stand My Stand Up Desk."

Click here to read my experience, plus a video on how to try one yourself for free.

Desks like these may or may not help back pain problems, but it can't hurt to try advice like this to see if you can alleviate some medical symptoms like back pain. Of course any health advice you hear online shouldn't trump the medical info you get from a real doctor.
