3 Ways to Not Get Fat at a Startup

Tagged Under : , , , ,

Working on the web all day long is a recipe for fatness. Not metaphorically, I mean literally. You’re sitting on your butt all day. And especially when you’re working at a startup and putting in 16 hour days, it’s hard to find time to take care of yourself. Both in my previous projects and now working on Dino.sr, I’ve definitely seen the side effects of burning the hours away staring at the screen.

Which is why I’ve proposed a few ideas to help us get the best of both worlds: crazy startup work ethic + physical fitness. What do you think?

    RIGHT ON! My business partner and I laugh (trying not to cry) about how wide our butts have gotten the last two years creating our software company - not to mention our eyesight is going geriatric staring at a computer screen 12 hours a day. As a 'second life' career (40 + 50 year old females) we are struggling with the fate of going from sleek savvy babes selling the fountain of youth to becoming obese tech tards :-0
  • Shane, it's been a while since I've visited your site. I love the new design. And I love the art work.

  • That's 600 hrs a year extra dev time!

    Develop a 'nervous twitch' to keep legs moving and exercised and mass cook all your monthly meals on one day.

    Does ruin my eye site though =]
  • Maybe it's just me, but if I didn't exercise every day I'd probably go bonkers and eventually not get anything done anymore.
  • Well put.

    My first business started one year out of university - gained 15lbs

    Second business - gained another 20lbs.

    Now trying to get fit again!
