The Desk Job Playbook

Eight meetings, one mailbox trip, and a CGM drifting up by 3pm for no food-related reason. Welcome to October, the real-life month of the Keep It Moving challenge, starting with everyone whose job owns their body eight hours a day: office workers, teachers, truckers, nurses charting after a shift.The principle: don't ADD movement to your day, HIDE it inside your day. Five plays, easiest first: the standing call, the top-of-the-hour get-up (the ADA's every-30-minutes guidance adapted for someone with an actual boss), the far bathroom, the one-glass-at-a-time water trick, and the ten-minute walking lunch. None of it looks like exercise, which is exactly the point.In this episode:Five ways to hide movement inside a workday, ranked by easeWhy desk jobs quietly raise insulin needs, and what interrupts itHabit-stacking movement onto calls, water, and lunch you already haveWhat the science says about light movement and afternoon glucose driftYour challenge: pick TWO plays from the playbook and run them every workday this week.Helpful resources and newsletter: https://yourbestt1dyear.comConnect with Neil: TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@the.betes Instagram: https://instagram.com/thebetes Facebook: https://facebook.com/neilgreathouse LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/neil-greathouse-a607b912 Website: https://yourbestt1dyear.comBooks on Amazon: Type 1 Diabetes – One Day at a Time: https://a.co/d/6UHooWJ Type 1 Diabetes – True Stories: https://a.co/d/dfIlyI1
