Office Worker Health — Office Worker Health

Is it just me or is the real tell-tale sign that we are out of recession the fact that Christmas parties are filling up the diary over the next month just like they used to during the boom? Great news for the economy and the country in general but not such good news for your liver or your belly. Christmas Day and the days surrounding it are often a write off for many of us with food, drinks and extreme laziness top of the agenda for the majority. Not a whole lot wrong with that, it’s Christmas after all. What if we took our foot off the gas just a little in the lead up to it though? Wouldn't that be a big help?

Going Loco Down in Copacabana

Office Worker Health has gone international. I have taken a four month leave of absence from my employer in Ireland (parental leave) to spend some quality time with my daughter and partner and visit her family in Brazil! We flew out last Tuesday and have made Rio De Janeiro our home for the next six weeks. After that we’ll head down south to Florianopolis to see the in-laws in time for Christmas and New Year.

Which activity is right for you?

Swimming, rock climbing, weight lifting, hapkido, crossfit, ninjutsu, running, cycling, football... I could go on and on citing sports I once tried, enjoyed for a while and later stopped practicing (or should I say quit, gave up?!?). What about all the equipment, clothing, shoes and gadgets bought for each sport that are now gathering dust?!? Why can't I (we) stick to the sport and keep doing it? Too busy at work, the weather doesn't help, tiredness? Excuses and more excuses!!
