Stay Fit While You
Sit
Tips
for Staying Healthy at Your Desk Job
Do you sit at your desk
for long periods of the day? Have you ever experienced back, neck or
shoulder pain after a long day at the office? Perhaps you put on a
few pounds after taking a desk job. Research has shown that people
who work desk jobs are likely to lose muscle tone, experience back
pain, gain weight and suffer from increased stress. That's because
inactivity, poor posture and bad eating habits tend to plague those
who sit at a desk throughout the day.
One study by the
American
Council on Exercise (ACE) showed that those whose jobs require
them to sit at least six hours a day are twice as likely to be
overweight as those who sit for less than 45 minutes a day at work.
So what can you do to stay fit but keep your desk job?
Check out
these tips.

Test your
mental flexibility:
This test does not measure your intelligence, your
fluency with words, and certainly not your mathematic
ability. It will, however, give you some gauge of your
mental flexibility and creativity. In the years since
the test was first developed, there have been few people
who could solve more than half the problems on their
first try. Many, however, reported getting answers long
after the test had been set aside, particularly at
unexpected moments when their minds were relaxed, and
some reported solving all the problems over a period of
several days. Take this as your personal challenge.
Answers will appear next month. Answers to last month
appear at the end of this newsletter.
Instructions: Each question below contains all
the initials of words that will make it correct. Find

Is Your
Business Disaster-Ready?
 By
Jeff Wuorio
Reprinted with permission from the
Microsoft Small Business Center
Hurricanes, earthquakes
and other natural events are disasters in every sense of the word.
Lives are lost, property decimated and entire communities disrupted.
For your small
business, these events can be just as devastating. But there's a
great deal you can do — both to prepare before a disaster strikes
and afterwards, to get your business back on its feet quickly.
Here are 10 tips to
better protect your business and, if damage occurs, what you can do
to speed your recovery.
First, here are tips to
help you protect your business: |

 Secure
Online Transactions
Have you been thinking
about setting up shop online? Taking your goods and services to the
Internet will increase your business potential in many ways.
However, e-commerce requires a commitment to securing
transactional details, including credit card information from
customers. As e-commerce has grown, so have security threats.
Identity theft, data security breaches and phishing continue to top
the list of consumer complaints. All of these factors undermine
trust in digital commerce, and that is why it’s important for any
small business to take the necessary steps to reduce customer
concerns about shopping and banking online.
