I keep a tension type chin-up bar in the door way to my closet. I find that
little by little I have been able to build up into 3 sets of 10. It
breaks
the lazy dullness and of course has other benefits.

Subject: Combatting the "trader tummy"
Like a number of people in the past few days, I am on this list mostly
for trader talk, it doesn't specifically have to be about Tradestation.
Could I pose a question to the list if it's of interest ... How do
others deal with the trader tummy? That being trading isn't exactly the
most
energetic of activities, combined with moderate bursts of stress &
frequent long hours, I often find myself grabbing a hand full of
biscuits / chips / nuts etc
and heading back to the screen, especially if it's late at night and the
noise of making a proper meal would be inappropriate.
I was fortunate enough to spend a short stint with Prudential-Bache
Securities many years back and I have vivid memories of their dealers
running
from the desk, grabbing literally handfuls of biscuits (quality ones,
the firm was doing well) and running back to their desk... and these
were _BIG_ guys,
so it doesn't seem a unique small office, home office issue.
I realize there are probably a plethora of fitness groups that would be
better suited to specifics of calories and the like, but I'm more
interested in how
other traders are dealing with our rather unique working environment.
I've recently started drinking a lot of water, I have a 1.5L bottle and
am aiming for 1 - 2 re-fills per day (I re-fill from a filtered water
tap), I find it significantly
reduces the desire for snacking & assists with overall health.
