I sure do! I am a cafe manager and sometimes I am running around like crazy. It is very busy and pretty fast paced.
Do you burn a lot of calories while at work? Is your job active?
-
I'm a nanny 1x a week so yup I do!! Before this I worked in retail and spent 8 hours a day on my feet, so I have always had fast-paced work environments.
I think I'm going to go to school for nursing (hopefully I get in) and that would be another fast paced environment.
-
Zero. I only consume calories at my job (sit at a desk all day and snack on and off).
It used to drive me crazy but now that I am hugely pregnant, I am so thankful that I get to just sit here all day with my feet propped up on a box
-
@Coco Bee: woo hoo! I absolutely love being a nurse! And I am running my whole shift. But I love being busy at work.
-
I burn very few sitting in a chair all day, but I try to get up and move around pretty often. I used to work in retail management and burned a ton of calories running around for 8+ hrs a day...I miss that, actually. I would rather be exhausted at the end of the day than have my butt sore from too much sitting.
-
@Highwire: I'm with you! Sit here for 9 1/2 hours a day (I try to get up every hour or so to stretch my legs.)
-
zero!! I have a desk job
I used to work at a hotel and I loved it, being up all day and walking around.
-
@tororojo: I used to be in management at a high end retail store, and boy, I was sooooooo exhausted at the end of the day! And I wore heels all day so my feet were in BAD shape.
-
When I was working, I was an attorney so all I did was sit behind a desk - burned nothing!
-
Nope
Just sit as a desk all day long. Unless you count my many trips to the bathroom a day.
-
Nope - unless you count the trips to and from the bathroom (which is a lot more often now that I'm pregnant) and to the cafe to get some water/tea/coffee!
-
@anonysquire: Me too! I hate feeling like there is nothing to do. I am just REALLY hoping I can get into the nursing program. What kind of nurse are you? I want to do L&D and possibly get my Doula certification.
-
@Mrsdaredevil: Oh I know right... Thankfully I didn't have to wear heels at my retail job, (I was management too) but it was hard being on my feet that long.
-
@Coco Bee: med surg! But now I work at a hospital where I float. So I work in L&D, ER, ICU, med surg, tele floor.
-
At my corporate job - nope. At our shop - for sure! We're on our feet all day running between helping a customer, expediting/packing/making food, and man-ing the oven!
-
I wish! I'm stuck at a desk! But on my wfh days? YUP!
-
I am an exercise therapist so yes. I am constantly lifting weights.
-
Nope, I have a desk job so I sit a majority of the day. Our office is on the 3rd floor, so I normally take the stairs and go to the 1st floor anytime I need to go to the bathroom. That way I at least get a *little* exercise.
-
Nope. I sit on my ever expanding rear and eat cupcakes!
(hehe)
-
@Mrsdaredevil: @Coco Bee: Retail people are hardcore! Retail is physically taxing and required a whole lot more brains (you know, to actually do a good job) than my office job does.
-
if walking from my desk to the printer counts? oh and walking to the bathroom lol
-
No...I wish I did, though! I just sit at a desk
But I do walk or ride my bike to get to/from work! But once there, yeah...nada.
-
I'm a SAHM to a 14 month old. So yes!
-
I work in real estate, so it is constant running around!
-
Ha. Good joke. I probably CONSUME more calories than anything... I have an office/desk job so I am sitting all day...seriously.
I used to work at a hotel and I loved it, being up all day and walking around.
