MasonOh91 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hello all! I've just graduated with a four year degree in Computer Science and have started a career as a real-life black mage practicing real-life magic, programming and math! However, with this profession comes the inevitable 8 hour salary man lifestyle. 8 hours daily of sitting in a chair, staring at a computer screen, and the occasional deadline stress. I have a long (very long) and fruitful relationship with gaming, but I figure now more than ever it's time to start a relationship with fitness. I've recently (albeit a tiny bit into the 6 weeks) started a Level 1 Challenge, and am looking forward to becoming active in a community so passionate about fitness! The nerdy tone of the community also is very welcoming at first glance . 2 Quote Quests: #1Battle Logs: Current---The new guy, profile will get updated soon! Link to comment
crazykhajiitlady Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hi and welcome Like you and many others around here I too suffer from sitting in front of a computer wayyy too much during the day. I found some great exercise suggestions here that can help relieve some of that "Computer Guy" posture issue. It won't substitute your current goals but it'll be a nice thing to do during a lunch break to re-set yourself maybe ^^ Quote Level: 1 | Race: Khajiit| Druid STR: 0 | DEX: 1 | INT: 5 | CON: 2 | WIS: 1 | CHA: 1 =Battle Scroll= Link to comment

Dimia Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Welcome to the forums. I'm also new here and like you I spend far too much time in front of the computer for my job and then of course for gaming as well. I wish the best of luck on your journey. I checked out your challenge and it seems to have some great strides toward your goals! crazykhajitlady, thanks for sharing those stretches/exercises. I saved them for later for myself because it seems an awesome way to fix those problems from sitting in front of a screen so long!
