- Golf balls are not for slicing. This is how marathoners use them when they’re not actually hooking into the forest (if you’re a beginner, start with a tennis ball and work your way to the hard little golf ball).
a. Keep a sport ball of your comfort level under your desk (I have one at home and office).
b. Wear pumps or slip-on shoes (or if you can work at home, bare feet).
c. Set a trigger for yourself. For instance, when you actually get an email that adds value to your work.
d. Whenever your “trigger” comes up, slip off your shoes and step on the ball, rolling it up and down the bottom of your foot for a minute or so.
- Tennis racket or baseball bat.
b. Draw your knees perpendicular to your hips.
c. Place handle of racket or bat at your ankles.
d. Roll the bat up to your knees and back 3 or 4 times for a quick DIY calf massage. Great for single people like me. Can also be done with a rolling pin. Hell, I never bake any more anyway…
- Treadmill:
a. After you get home from your run and wash out your stinky running clothes, hang them on the treadmill to dry.
b. When it is snowy or icy outside, your clothes are handy if you must run indoors.
